Version Saver runs in the background while you are using your computer.

 

Every 5 minutes (or at a time-interval chosen by you) it wakes up and looks to see if any of the files on your computer have changed. If a file has changed it saves a copy if the changed file alongside earlier copies it has of any changes. So, if you lose any data, the most you can lose is the last 5 minutes of your work. Any changes made longer ago than that will have been saved by VersionSaver and any one of those earlier versions can be retrieved.

 

There is no danger that Version Saver will eventually clog your discs with an unlimited number of earlier versions of files, because you can set a limit in the number of versions you wish to save.  We recommend a limit of 50. Once more than 50 versions of a file have been saved then each new version will overwrite the oldest version currently saved on the disc.
