November 14, 2010 TimeTravelerTM 1.4.1 has been released
We develop software which extends and enhances your ability to work efficiently. Our first product, TimeTraveler, is a feature-rich Windows Explorer bar that allows you to look, search, restore and compare your documents, files and folders as they were at previous times. You can also restore your system to a prior time. The bar presents a timeline populated with ticks called points-in-time. You can bring Windows Explorer back in time by moving the time cursor to a point-in-time. When a new point is selected, TimeTraveler translates the address from the Explorer address bar into its equivalent at the selected time so Explorer displays the folders and files exactly as they were at that time.
With TimeTravelerTM you can:
Restore previous versions of your documents, files and folders in a few seconds
Restore your Windows system to a prior point-in-time without affecting your documents
Easily compare different versions of your documents, files and folders using comparison programs of your choice
Easily browse and search all your files and folders at points-in-time
Look at previous versions of your documents, files and folders
Clearly see all the points-in-time stored on your disk(s) and set your Windows Explorer to display a prior time in one click
Know if the file or folder selected in Explorer was modified at a point-in-time
Distinguish whether a point-in-time is a Windows restore point or not
Automatically get versions of your documents each time you save them
Understand your disks' usage including Volume Shadow Copy storage
Configure Volume Shadow Copy storage
Create and delete points-in-time (shadow copies)
Get the disk usage of each shadow copy
