Description
AutoVer is a free, configurable, and automatic or real-time personal backup and versioning system designed for Windows operating systems. It serves both as a simple real-time backup tool and as a more complex and transparent version control system, similar to real-time incremental backup. The main advantage of the software lies in its "configure and forget" nature: once configured, which is a simple process, AutoVer operates autonomously, eliminating the need for manual intervention in backup or version management tasks. Every time a file is saved, it is automatically copied to a user-designated backup location, which can include local folders, drives, removable storage devices, network drives, or FTP servers.
Main Features
The main features of AutoVer include:
- Real-Time Backup: Files are copied immediately after they are saved, ensuring that the backup is always up to date.
- Versioning Options: Users can choose between no versioning, versioning with timestamps, or archiving old versions, with customizable timestamps and the ability to limit the versioning rate.
- Selective Backup: The software allows the inclusion or exclusion of specific files and folders based on file masks and maximum file sizes.
- Fault Tolerance: AutoVer is designed to handle situations where the backup destination is temporarily unavailable or files are locked, automatically synchronizing when connections are restored.
- Wide Compatibility: It supports a wide range of Windows versions, from Windows 2000 to Windows 7, and is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
- Integration with Applications: The tool works seamlessly with popular software such as MS Office and Visual Studio, effectively managing temporary files and file renaming operations.
- Extensibility: Users can configure AutoVer to run external programs when files are changed, allowing for additional processing, such as encoding or resizing.
- Operational Flexibility: It can run as a standard Windows application or as a Windows Service for continuous background operation.
- Backup Explorer: An integrated Backup Explorer makes it easy to navigate and restore copied files.
