Versioning is a pretty useful concept. It basically means backing up documents and files before changes are made to it so that the user can revert back to a previous version with ease. Versioning is not limited to text documents, it can also be used for images or coding applications.
AutoVer is a automatic software versioning application that monitors folders on your hard drive and creates backups of those files whenever they are changed. It's like a realtime incremental backup of the files in those folders to another folder or drive on your hard drive.
Each folder that is being monitored has its own settings which means the application is highly customizable. It's even possible to store the backup folder on an USB drive which gets synced whenever it is connected to the computer.
