ANN: Protect your C# code from mistakes, corruption and know what has changed etc

[Andrew]

AJC Active Backup is a very useful tool to have while editing your C# code
and other files.
It instantly archives any file that has changed into a very compact archive
which allows you to compare against, and get back to, any version of the
file. This protects you from mistakes, file corruption and lets you see
what you have just done and what files have been changed etc. This software
has saved my life many times.

If you are interested in the software, now is the time to get it because AJC
Active Backup will be featuring on Bits du Jour on Tuesday 6th Feb for one
day only at 30% discount.

It is a totally useless tool?`

Do not get me wrong, but who the heck would make a backup of his source
code....


....instead of having a backup in a version control system where he can roll
back to any prior version as well as compare versions.

I mean, really.

AJC Active Backup is not intended to replace your normal backup or revision
control system. Indeed the advice given during setup tells you to backup by
other means as well.

It sits on your PC and protects you while you work. I'm sure you don't
backup to your revision control system every time you save do you? Well
this does.

It protects you from situations like: you edit some code, change it/delete
it and then an hour later you want it back. Or you spend all day working on
something and then it gets corrupted or you run the wrong update tool and
trash it. Or you change a file and mean to do "Save as" but you forget and
do "Save" and trash your file. Or you run a tool and changes some files but
you are not sure which etc etc etc

Many people have had their data saved by this, and for the cost you only
have to save an hours lost work and its paid for itself.
