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, drive or FTP server.

You can include and exclude certain files and browse the backups with the Backup Explorer. Great for backing up (or one way synchronising) your work or home documents to flash memory or saving every change you make to your source code or image files.

Making it Portable

I always hate to use the stock defrag tool which comes bundled with windows, due to couple of reasons 1. It takes hell lot of time to complete the process and 2. It eats up all of my RAM that my PC will be dead for sometime.
