We have just released AJC Active Backup v2 which is now even easier to use because it includes a Visual Studio add in, see here:
http://www.ajcsoft.com/active-backup-vs_addin.htm
With our own testing this has proved very stable and now we have made the BETA version available for you to try.
Version control for your hard drive! Protects you while you work, from mistakes, file corruption and gives great peace of mind. A must for anyone who values their work. Even if you use
a version control system for your code you often don't check in until the end of the job and so you can still lose a day's work due to mistakes or something corrupting your files. Maybe you wrote some code earlier in the day that you removed and now want all/some
of it back. You can do this with Active Backup. This is not just for source code, but for any important work files on your PC.
AJC Active Backup constantly monitors your computer for changes to your files and archives them as soon as you save. It keeps multiple versions of these files in a compact archive because
it only stores the changes each time. You can compare your files to earlier versions to see what has changed and go back to any version. It does not slow your computer down because you only backup important files.
AJC Active Backup v2 has the following improvements over v1:
+ Complete rewrite with a modern UI.
+ Restore partial file changes back from your archives using built in AJC Diff v2. This lets you edit files while you are comparing them.
+ More visible overview of what folders you are monitoring for changes on the Home tab.
+ List of recently archived files is now kept when restarting the application.
+ Easier to set up and access file patterns etc.
+ You can change options live without having to stop monitoring for changes.
+ File patterns tester tool so you can test if a file will match your patterns.
+ New archives explorer lets you navigate through your backup archives more easily.
+ Its now easier to restore multiple files and you can see exactly where each file will go.
+ Includes the new AJC Revision Archive v2 archive viewer.
+ Compatible with AJC Sync backup archives.
+ For programmers: AJC Diff v2 offers code syntax highlighting.
+ For programmers: Visual Studio addin for you to access your archives more easily while you are coding. If someone would like to write a Delphi addin for a modern version of Delphi
then please contact use for integration instructions.
+ Diagnostics mode lets you see what is happening when a file is detected. This helps if you don't know why a file is being backed up.
