Recover a Directory

    I would like to be able to recover a whole directory, including sub directories, from a previous date/time in the past. At the moment the application that I use writes to many files at a time. If I want to go back to a previous time I have to go through all of the Rebit sub directories comparing the date and time when they were saved to manually restore the correct files.
    If I could access the files directly myself,I think that it would be relatively easy to write an application to do it.

    How about an API to the Rebit data?

    Interesting idea. The ability to access multiple files in the manner you describe is likely just one feature that could be implemented with the API. We will add this to the queue for evaluation.

    Is it more difficult to recover a directory versus an individual file? Seems like you could just pull copy and paste that folder like you would a file.

    At the individual file level, there is the ability to double-click on a file icon to access the multiple copies of the file. However, at the folder level, you are only able to copy the folder and the most recent versions of the files contained therein. If there are deleted items contained within the folder, those will be copied also.

    I, too, would like to see this feature.
    Suppose you have a folder with 500 Word documents and many of them get corrupted. Rebit backs up the corrupted files, so the latest backup contains corrupted files. I'd like to be able to go back to the version of the folder from a point in time and restore the whole thing, without having to restore 500 files individually!
    I'm an IT support tech and I'm recommending this product to my customers, but I keep having to say "it can't restore a folder to a point in time, other than that, it's great"
