after talking about file backups in the beta area, I'm making a request to the C++ users here, who understand the windows side of C++ more than I do. (otherwise I'd do it myself)
can someone or a group 🙂
make a service 'app' that looks at a user set folder
and scans it for osm's
for each osm it finds creates a folder that has a similar name to the osm.
the service then monitors for changes and creates a coppy of the osm and put it in the folder with its name but appends the data and time to the osm so that it is unique.
i.e. make a source safe 🙂
I haven't done C++ for years and I've never made a service before, which it why I'm posting here.
this might be very useful

You can easily do this with SynthMaker, the Shell Execute primitive, cmd, dir, ren, mkdir and copy are your friends.
Of course it's not a Windows service, but IMO that's not needed here.

ok, I'll look in to it,
I still think a service would be nicer as it would be 'running' all the time

Put your .exe in the autostart folder, and let it endlessly sleep<->do some stuff.

why not use a version control system - like subversion/tortoise or others? These tools are made to solve that kind of problems.
