Individual files are in between copied to a history directory and renamed. Pro: each ZIPed version runs with mostly undiscovered bugs and respresents a certain stage in development (prototype1, prototype2, alpha version...). Con: There is an abundance of files which have to be archived.

I have a program that can copy files, preserving directory structure and dates,
from one root to another. It has a date filter.

- About once a week I copy all files that have changed that week, and keep this
copy for a few months.

- At the end of each month I copy all files that have changed that month, and
keep this copy for ever.

- At the end of each year I copy all files that have changed that year, and also
keep this copy for ever.



For me, this is a suitable compromise between safety and efficiency. Recovery of
files is not very easy, but I only need to do it very occasionally so that is
not a real problem.


The programme is on CPC (Wands\Mod\CheckSum). Its odd name is because it has
evolved from a 20+ year old Modula II programme originally designed for a
slightly different purpose.

I use it every day to keep my different computers synchronised.

Regards

Robert
