File Hamster 1.5.2.5

Keep backups of previous file versions

Tim Smith, Computeract!ve 02 Jul 2008

Saving and backing up files is one thing, but sometimes what you need to recover is an old version of a file.

File Hamster monitors folders and makes backups of files when they are changed. Even more useful is the option to add comments to backups; when the file changes File Hamster automatically prompts for a descriptive comment.

More advanced features include the ability to ignore certain files in a folder or allow time between revisions. This helps reduce the number of backups made when saving frequently.

It is also possible to force a saved revision if you feel it is needed, before making a major change to a document.

More information and help is available from the File Hamster Wiki.
