Thread of Reason: Link

Suggestion:
Whenever Save is clicked/ctrl+s is pressed, a Copy of the current State of the Config.ini is saved under Samurize\Backup\<configname>\<configname>_%DATE_TIME%.ini
A new Option then could be set to select how many Backups are stored, overwriting the oldest one when reaching the limit.

How is that on resources? System Restore in XP is a bit heavy as far as CPU usage... I like RobertMB's suggestion smil3dbd4d6422f04.gif

It still wastes CPU Cycles and Memory that can be used for something else.
Seti for Example.

Automatic Backups are handy for People that don't like to keep their Stuff monitored in Manual Mode. smil43e67f1cd6a58.gif
