Fix 'Your File History Drive Was Disconnected for Too Long' [4 Fixed]
About once a month or more frequently, my computer keeps sending me a message alert. It goes on to say 'Your file history drive was disconnected for too long. Reconnect it and then tap or click to keep saving copies of your files'. I don't understand what the system is referring to. Is there some setting I need to change?
