Timemachine + Versioning
Toolwiz Time Freeze is an effective Instant System Restore software to keep your computer system safe and protect your computer from undesired changes. It can also protect your files and folders from changes with a secure password protection. It makes virtualization very easy to use. Basically, it clones your system, creating fully working copies that you can use normally (or abnormally) without risking your "real" system. It puts the actual system under secure protection and creates a virtual environment for system partition, on which you then run applications and surf the internet. It provides higher-level security to computer protection, and greatly improves the efficiency of virtual systems.
Toolwiz Time Freeze has a simple interface for starting and stopping its main features as well as adding files to the File Protection feature (Time Freeze warns not to include Windows system files). There's a small, optional "ToolBar" that merely displays the program's status on the desktop, but it's helpful if you switch between modes a lot. Most of the time, the program's system tray icon handles all the actions.
File Hamster allows you to restore your documents to any past version; even one from just five minutes ago.
Automatically creates new revisions each time you save your document. Runs quietly in the background. Quickly annotate/comment on each revision. Generate reports so you can more easily review past drafts. Hook up your favorite diffing program so you can easily compare each draft.
AutoVer is a configurable automatic or real time backup and personal versioning system. It can be used as a simple real time backup or as a more complex, but transparent version control system (like a realtime incremental backup). The beauty of this system is that once you set it up (which is extremely simple) it does everything. No remembering to backup or to check in or check out files. Every time you save a file it is copied to your backup folder or drive. You can include and exclude certain files and browse the backups with the Backup Explorer.
Features
Select any number of separate folders or folder trees (including sub folders) to watch for changes - each folder tree has its own independent settings Select straight backup or one of two versioning modes Select any folder, drive or FTP to backup to (including memory sticks and network drives) Option to create an initial backup before the automatic backup starts and ensure it is current on every startup Backups can be checked automatically, at a set time or manually Restrict which files and folders to include and exclude (by file mask) & maximum size Change the versioning date/time stamp format and versioning rate. Zip or delete old versions after a specified time (or just keep storing the files) Optionally delete backup files on original file deletion permanently or to the Recycle Bin Fault tolerance in case your backup folder/drive goes off line or source files are locked. Drives re-sync'ed when they come online MS Office, Visual Studio plus many others supported (temp file creation, delete then rename is treated as original file change) Backup file & version explorer included Open backups or file versions directly (file extensions are preserved) or via inbuilt explorer Compare file versions (using an external application) Restore file versions one at a time or all at once via inbuilt explorer or manually
Protect your data, upgrade your hard disk or try new operating systems in the safe knowledge that everything is securely saved in an easily recovered backup file. Macrium Reflect supports backup to local, network and USB drives.
Full PC backup, extremely fast and allows to restore to a completely different Windows and computer. For example, restore programs, settings and files from a backup of Windows 7 32bit Dell to a Windows 10 64bit HP (without wiping it)

Duplicati is a backup client that securely stores encrypted, incremental, compressed backups on local storage, cloud storage services and remote file servers. The Duplicati project was inspired by Duplicity and had similar functionality until 2008. In that year the storage model was redesigned completely and the program was rebuilt from scratch. This manual describes Duplicati 2, the version based on the new storage model.
Duplicati works with standard protocols like FTP, SSH, WebDAV as well as popular services like Microsoft OneDrive, Amazon Cloud Drive & S3, Google Drive, box.com, Mega, hubiC and many others.
Duplicati is free software and open source. You can use Duplicati for free even for commercial purposes. Source code is licensed under LGPL. Duplicati runs under Windows, Linux, MacOS. It requires .NET 4.5 or Mono.
Duplicati was designed for online backups from scratch. It is not only data efficient but also handles network issues nicely. E.g. interrupted backups can be resumed and Duplicati tests the content of backups regularly. That way broken backups on corrupt storage systems can be detected before it’s too late.
Backup files and folders with strong AES-256 encryption. Save space with incremental backups and data deduplication. Run backups on any machine through the web-based interface or via command line interface. Duplicati has a built-in scheduler and auto-updater.
Duplicati uses strong AES-256 encryption to protect your privacy. You can also use GPG to encrypt your backup.
Duplicati is configured by a web interface that runs in any browser (even mobile) and can be accessed - if you like - from anywhere. This also allows to run Duplicati on headless machines like a NAS (network attached storage).
Duplicacy is a new generation cloud-backup tool supporting 5 major cloud-storage providers (Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Microsoft Azure, Dropbox, and Backblaze), as well as local disks and SFTP servers (such as Mac/Linux computers or NAS boxes). Duplicacy is the only cloud-backup tool that offers all the following 7 essential features:
- Incremental backup: only back up what has been changed
- Full snapshot : although each backup is incremental, it must behave like a full snapshot for easy restore and deletion
- Deduplication: identical files must be stored as one copy (file-level deduplication), and identical parts from different files must be stored as one copy (block-level deduplication)
- Encryption: encrypt not only file contents but also file paths, sizes, times, etc.
- Deletion: every backup can be deleted independently without affecting others
- Concurrent access: multiple clients can back up to the same storage at the same time
- Snapshot migration: all or selected snapshots can be migrated from one storage to another
Duplicacy also comes with an elegantly designed GUI that features one-page configuration to allow you to quickly set backup schedules and retention policies. You can also easily configure advanced options such as email notifications, automatic start on logon, and exclude/include patterns.
Best of all, Duplicacy is completely free for personal use, without any adware or any limited features. For commercial use, the subscription cost is extremely low -- only $2 per month for each computer.
