CPS and what am I missing?

[SRS_Topscore]

I have BE 2010 CPS Build 13.0.420.3302 installed, I have a job that backup files from a server to a NAS. In the Backup Job Schedule I chose "Whenever a file changes”.
Now I got the impression that it means if I change a file and save it I should be able to restore a previous version.

But when I check the Restore window I only see my current version.

Thanks in advance

You need to check snapshot schedule on the backup destination. Default is 4 hours. Versioning is based on snapshots. So, every time a snapshot is created, a new version of the file will be there.

Please mark it a solution, if this is useful.

So what does "Whenever a file changes” in schedule do? Is that not a new version every time a file is saved?

No, whenever a file changes, we back it up. So, we always get latest copy on the destination. But, then we use VSS to create snapshots as per schedule. Once snapshot is created, you get the ability to go back to an older version, in addition to current one. You can create as many as 64 snapshots, which is a limitation of VSS.

If you notice the destination folder, all it has is current files. There is no versioning system as such, it is just about snapshots.

I hope that answers your question. If it does, mark it a solution.

Thanks
