File History is something you can turn on to keep older versions of files when they're changed...

I didn't have file history turned on so I am out of luck.

When I tried turning it on, it seems to point to the external HDD as destination. Would that take up a lot of disk space because my video files (if all of them are retained) are huge quantity of MB.

I've never used file history so I can't really comment on the space requirements.  I guess the thing to do would be to turn it on and keep an eye on it to see what happens.

I'd be a little hesitant to have it rely on an external drive unless you're sure the drive will always be attached.  From what I can see, from the setup "Backup" screen you can click "More Options" and then "See advanced settings" to bring up a control panel window that lets you select which drive to use, I assume that would be the drive where the history is stored.  But I could be wrong.
