Why each option
File History is the only built-in Windows 10 backup tool that can protect user files located on an exFAT-formatted volume.
System Restore points only capture Windows system files and registry state, not user data stored on secondary volumes such as D:\Data.
File History backs up files from user-specified folders regardless of the source volume's file system, including exFAT, making it suitable for protecting D:\Data. It stores versioned copies to a separate NTFS or ReFS destination drive and supports granular file and folder recovery without requiring a full system image restore.
wbadmin.exe requires source volumes to be formatted as NTFS and cannot back up data from an exFAT volume like volume D.
Backup and Restore (Windows 7) also requires NTFS on the source volume and cannot create a backup of files stored on the exFAT-formatted volume D.
