alternative to filehamster?

Indeed AutoVer's development has stalled for quite a while. The author admits as much:

30-01-2009 AutoVer development had stopped for a while. I have started on the next version, more features, some fixes etc. No ETA yet.

And it wasn't as stable as FileHamster on my system when I tried it (1.2.2).

Hi,
Maybe an (private) Freeware "alternative" (?) - not tested - but looks fine - and is -> ".NET free"! :)

Automated backup and synchronization:
- A scheduler starts a synchronization every x hours, days, weeks, months
- Start a synchronization or backup automatically when e.g. a USB drive has been plugged in
- Synchronize or backup automatically when a file (that shall be backuped or synchronized) has been modified.

I made a post about Using FileHamster to keep track of status of a job (via files).

I wasn't (and amn't) looking for an alternative, but for those who are, this post cmpm made there may be of interest:

Regarding Exendo's History Explorer - it's been on BDJ twice in the past year for $6 and if I remember right it's been on sale on the Exendo site (http://www.exendo.se) for as little as $4 in the past year.  However, that's from when the list price was $20 and there's certainly no saying that past sales are indications of future deals.

But if you're somewhat interested though not chomping at the bit for History Explorer, it might pay to keep an eye on whether they offer a special at some point.
