Versioning and Web GUI for the data

[keamas]

Hi,

I like ths project, I waited a long time for a sync service which I can manage myself and handle large data.

Is there a plan to implement versioning?

That you have multile versions of a file saved. Maybe just on a server?

Also a Web GUI would be nice to access the data if you are on the way.

It should be possible if you use a Linux server for example or a NAS as the central manager.

You can just backup the synced folders with a standard backup linux software like http://www.oak-tree.us/time-drive/ or http://code.google.com/p/flyback/.

So you can save the last 3 versions of a file.

Additional it should be possible to access the folder with webdav and secure the folder with username and password. Maybe it would be great to allow LDAP Authentication.

Is this something you want to implement? Is this idea possible to do create by my self or are there any technical limitations?

What do you think?

Can't you just create a repository of your choice in a folder and version files with that? e.g. use Mercurial or Git, create a repo and then BTSync it (the entire repository+files). The repository and it's history will be synced the same as other files, keeping it up to date on different devices. I'm doing this now with several folders/projects and seems to work well.

Source code versioning tools really hate big binary files. Git will die a horrible death if you squeeze hundreds of GBs into it. Also they might not even use delta encoding for binary files so you loose a lot of space too.

It was mentioned that the developers intend to implement versioning, maybe that's gonna be the next major feature.

If you want WebDav you should set it up yourself. But I think you're better of with something like Ajaxplorer.
