Thank you for using FileHamster, the best, most versatile freeware file backup solution on the market.  FileHamster is created by Mogware, a developer of quality tools for professional and hobbyist users alike.

What is FileHamster?
FileHamster is a simple to use application that backs up your files as you work.

Anyone who uses a computer regularly has experienced the frustration of losing work.  Whether your file becomes corrupt, is accidentally deleted, or you inadvertently saved over a good file, you know the pain.  There are methods for dealing with these problems that include special naming conventions, archiving a backup to a zip drive, or moving files to a different folder, but these solutions are archaic compared to what FileHamster offers. Even worse, they all disrupt your workflow.

Hamster presents a much better way.


It is very simple to use. Tell FileHamster which directory or file to watch and get back to work. Every time you save, rest easy knowing you’re not losing any of your precious work. In the background, FileHamster automatically detects that your file has been saved and creates a revision of it. In addition, you have the ability to make notes each time you save to help you later identify a specific file, or use those notes to see a detailed account of the work you've done on a particular project.

Mogware also provides a powerful plug-in architecture that enhances FileHamster’s functionality. Plugins are freely downloadable here, including a zip plug-in for saving your revisions in a more compact form, and more.

FileHamster is simple for beginners, but customizable for more advanced users. Put archaic methods where they belong, in the past, and move forward with FileHamster!
