AutoVer is a simple application that can be set to automatically create backups of selected files and folders, all from a simple interface and without any complications.
Adding new files is as easy as creating and naming a new backup folder, choosing a backup location and adding folders/files to the backup. You can pause and resume the backup of specific folders using the command button, and the search feature enables to explore folders that you have backed up. You can use the program as a simple real-time backup or as an advanced file version control system. As soon as a folder is created, backups can be immediately initiated. Some schedule options are included too.
The program is very simple, it works with external hard drives without any issues and includes several tools like time stamping for better control. It doesn't offer very much but gets the job done.
Pros
- Well documented
- Automatic backups
- Exceptions can be set
- Removable media support
Cons
- Freezes occasionally in Win Vista
I have used AutoVer successfully for a number of years. One problem that I have is the huge number of large log files in C:\ProgramData\AutoVer eating my C drive. I have found to real solution to this as even deleteing very old files causes AutoVer to malfunction. The only way is to uninstall/reinstall and clean out the C:\ProgramData\AutoVer folder.
