Essentials

 

• Keep the < number> most recent backups- we recommend this should be a large number, between 50 - 200. When a file has reached this limiting number of versions saved, VersionSaver does not stop saving versions, it just overwrites the oldest version it has saved with the latest version.

 

• Minutes between saving files - we suggest this is set to a low value of between 2 - 5 minutes. VersionSaver does not make a backup of file each time it changes. Instead it looks at files at intervals of the time period you set here and saves a new backup version of any file that has changed during that period. So, for example, if you set the minutes between saving files to 5 minutes, then, every 5 minutes, VersionSaver looks to see if files have changed. For any file that has changed, VersionSaver makes a numbered copy of that latest file version.
