Various accidents can happen even when working on the computer. We’re talking of course about files and folders, which can disappear or become corrupt because of different scenarios or types of malicious content. In this regard, Free File Backup Watcher can monitor a file for you and create a backup of the original if modified.

The application can keep its eye on any kind of file. However, you’re only limited to one file, and there’s no possibility to run multiple instances of the application, or at least monitor an entire folder. Adding the file needs to be done through the browse dialog, because dropping it over the main window has no effect.
Apart from the input, you also need to provide a location to save all modified instances of the original file. This means that whenever the original file’s content is modified, the new form is automatically moved to the backup location, leaving the original file intact. A notification can be enabled to show up near the tray area whenever changes are detected.
Checking a file’s status is either manually done, or left into the hands of the application. Choosing to manually check instantly performs required operations, while the automated feature is configured in seconds to check every now and then, without having to keep the main window up.
Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Free File Backup Watcher is a practical application overall, especially when editing pictures or text files. Content can be automatically verified by the application and the original file is never lost. The only downside is you only get to target a single file.
