Folder Auto Snapshot

The File & Folder Snapshots feature allows Team Computers to automatically create periodic, timestamped snapshots of a specific folder to preserve file change history.

When this feature is enabled, the system creates an /Outputs folder on the desktop of the related computer. For files in this folder, the system creates a timestamped folder in the Vagon Files folder for each snapshot cycle and records the items in that snapshot.

  • Files with no changes are listed in a Files.txt file.

  • Files with changes (including newly created files) are saved individually in the snapshot folder.

Folder snapshots are created separately for each session. The system checks the initial folder state when the computer starts, then creates snapshot folders by comparing against the previous snapshot state of the /Outputs folder. Because of this, if a file already exists in /Outputs from a previous session, it is treated as a new file in the next session's snapshots.

This feature is available upon request. Please contact the Vagon team to enable it.
