Windows 11 File Backup

How do I do this on Win11? I am aware on Win11 I can use Settings > Win7 System Backup Image creator, but that is not what I want. I am aware I can use 3rd party apps to create file backup, or I could do it myself manually, but that is not what I want.
How to do the same Win10 File Backup in Win11, thank you.

    In Windows 11, you can use the built-in File History feature to back up your files, similar to what you had in Windows 10. Just go to Settings > System > Storage, then click on "Advanced storage settings" and choose "Backup options." From there, you can set up File History to back up your personal files automatically to an external drive or network location. It’s a simple way to back up files without relying on third-party apps or manual copying.

    Hope it helps!
