		<description>&lt;em&gt;&quot;- my opinion is that will be much user-friendly if will be implemented as a wizard.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;
Cooomiiing!.... :-) 
FTR, as we talk our graphic wizard just started to work at images after (more or less) setting in stone with our tech wizard the pages for your wizard. :-)

&lt;em&gt;- i haven`t found yet how to restore a “specific” version of a file.&lt;/em&gt;

If is &lt;em&gt;one&lt;/em&gt; file, you (using Windows Explorer) simply go to the folder where your backup is located (manually or by pressing &lt;em&gt;Show Directory&lt;/em&gt; next to the &lt;em&gt;Target Path&lt;/em&gt; edit box). And get the file from there (Copy, Open etc.). To choose the right file, perhaps you can do a sort by name (if isn&#039;t already) - the newer files are at top of the list. For example: &lt;em&gt;Main.pas&lt;/em&gt; is the actual file mirrored from the source. &lt;em&gt;Main{ZZZA.pas&lt;/em&gt; is the previous version, &lt;em&gt;Main{ZZZB.pas&lt;/em&gt; is even older and so on... you can freely open them with your program of choice to see what is the file which fits to your purpose. (additionally you can set the Windows Explorer to show the dates if this helps you).
Another way is Time Machine where you can set any point in time to see how the file looked at that time. I&#039;m thinking that we must do a movie for this.

&lt;em&gt;- the ability to see differences between current file and a specific version will be great (for text files)&lt;/em&gt;
Yep. We have already the code. Just to polish some things and make it fit... :-)</description>

		<description>- i`m a &#039;weekend&#039; programmer and SVN is kind of too much to me ... but this application seems to solve my problem :).  Anyway,  yesterday i give it a try. Installation went fine, but i got lost on the UI ... i had no idea what to do, how to set it up until i`ve read that pdf file.

- my opinion is that will be much user-friendly if will be implemented as a wizard. So you have to follow some steps in a specific order for each monitored location, something like: select source &gt; select destination &gt; versioning options &gt; logging options &gt; etc.

- i haven`t found yet how to restore a &quot;specific&quot; version of a file.

- the ability to see differences between current file and a specific version will be great (for text files)


cheers,

		<description>1. For the almost same price AJC Active Backup matches partially only the point 1.) (Backup) from the FileWatcher&#039;s features (see &lt;a href=&quot;http://wings-of-wind.com/file-watcher/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;). In other words while AJC Active Backup is a backup program &lt;strong&gt;only&lt;/strong&gt; while FileWatcher can be regarded more as a, let&#039;s say, File Control Center.

2. WRT to Backup part, the main difference is that we provide a Time Machine - ie a visual interface to go back in time and restore a point in time or a time interval. (In fact if you go to &lt;em&gt;Advanced... &#124; Restore...&lt;/em&gt; you will have on the right part something which looks like an Explorer window, you can do from there everything which Windows allows through right-click menu (open, copy etc). but that Explorer window shows the files which &lt;strong&gt;were&lt;/strong&gt; on your directory at the specified moment in the past on in a certain interval (settings on the left side of the window). In fact it combines the advantages of AJC&#039;s product with the advantages of Apple&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Machine_(Apple_software)&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;product&lt;/a&gt;. (Ok, we don&#039;t have the Apple&#039;s animations :-) )

3. Again, WRT to Backup part, (because only here we can compare the two products), one can do named snapshots. For ex. you want to refactor the User Interface of your program. A necessary, but a big change. So, before doing this you will go to the Time Machine and &#039;freeze&#039; this moment, restoring the entire repository of your code to a directory called eg. &quot;Before refactoring the UI&#039;.
