After the article about Cobian Backup, today we bring you another solution, with some interesting peculiarities. The FileHamster is a software version for free , without limitations, which guarantees you will not lose a single version of their documents, even if the record with some frequency.
How? Imagine the following example ... Working often with Excel files, some quite complex to work as a database, using macros and VBA programming, with numerous formulas and links. Ever happened to me several times to lose a few hours of work for not save incremental versions of the same file ... If for some reason Excel "freezes" and stops responding automatic recording failed, ready, if there was work ... Unfortunately this happens a lot when work with Word ficheros very extensive, with many pictures and tables with complex formatting ... For sure you already did the same, either with Excel, Word and other Microsoft applications or with many other development tools and editing, like Photoshop, Indesign, among other.
This is where the FileHamster can give a great help! More than one backup software, FileHamster creates a backup of every file you specify, each time we record it. This will save us the work and worry often "Save as ..." and warrants the various versions of the same file. The process is quite simple: FileHamster monitors files and noted that each change to each file, it creates a copy in the previous version, to choose a location, renaming it to a descriptive name that includes the version, date and time creation. Additional modules are also available also free, which allows to compress the copied data, compare the copy with the original file or add comments to copies made.
And there is the danger of creating endless lists of files and fill your hard disk, since you can specify the number of backups to keep stored. In addition it is very light and its action goes unnoticed: only remember the program when you lose some important file and want to recover the previous version of this!
A very interesting option is the portable version (portable) of FileHamster, allowing you to use the program on any PC, without having to install it.
In short, it is not a competitor of FileHamster conventional backup software, since it is based on backup local immediate and may instead be regarded as an addition, of course very useful . Unfortunately, FTP functionality, very helpful , is only available in the Plus version, which despite being very affordable, does not cease to be paid ... No doubt a great disadvantage to take into account the final comparison!
