I edited a video. Then I put my PC to sleep. There was a blackout on the street. The RAM contents disappeared and the program failed to properly save the project file. It became corrupt. I had only 1 backup from 4 days ago. So I lost 4 days worth of my editing. I trusted the program too much. To fix this I found this program and tried it. Although I already had an old free beta copy of Bvckup I went to see if there was anything else for this. I set this program to version my video project file....

What is AutoVer?
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

The program still "just werks". Tested on Windows 10, and I used it for real-time file copy of some temp files that would disappear in a second in order to do reverse engineering of an old program.
I edited a video. Then I put my PC to sleep. There was a blackout on the street. The RAM contents disappeared and the program failed to properly save the project file. It became corrupt. I had only 1 backup from 4 days ago. So I lost 4 days worth of my editing. I trusted the program too much. To fix this I found this program and tried it. Although I already had an old free beta copy of Bvckup I went to see if there was anything else for this. I set this program to version my video project file. It worked fine except it closed randomly far too often. I still use it thanks to an AutoHotKey fix. It checks if the program is open every 3 minutes and if not then restarts it. A lame method but the result is worth it.
If you are looking for high security, nope. But if all you need to do is have files copied, as is, to make quick backups, this is it!
No encryption feature.
