recommend an app to snapshot & restore a folder? (like version control?)
ottenm:
Hey All-
Can anyone recommend a lightweight app that can watch one of my folders for changes to the files or sub folders and give me a restore/undo so I can backup to a previous version(s)? Not sure what to call it, and hoping for something minimal (little to no learning curve). I thought of writing a script to just snapshot periodically with WinZip or 7Z, but figured there's probably something a little more integrated out there.
Thanks for any suggests-

ehh... are you telling that the particular folder is to never be changed? Protected?

What's in the folder you're interested in. Docs? Or things like settings and executables?
ottenm:
It's my "front burner" folder, just a random collection of junk I"m working on in some capacity. Documents, code, pics, some exe's, etc.. The files do change, so I'm looking for a backup/archiving app that takes and save snapshots so I can restore a file back to what it looked like, say, 3 days ago. Or maybe restore another file that's been deleted.
Sorry if it's not making sense. I know there's backup utilities out there, I just haven't had any experience with them and don't know of one that would save periodically, or whenever files change, without intervention.
Thanks!
