Project Management Files Related Issues or Data management Issues
How do I track the history and evolution of my projects? For every change, how do I know who made it; why they made it; when they made it; and what the change was?
Example:
“What did this directory contain last Wednesday?”
“Who was the last person to change this file, and what changes did he make?”
How can I archive old versions of files and directories, possibly resurrect them, or examine logs of how they've changed over time?
I’m working with other people (in my company or outside my company) on the same files of the project, how can I prevent them from accidentally stepping on each other's feet? It's all too easy for users to accidentally overwrite each other's changes.
If people need to simultaneously make changes, how can I identify and resolve conflicts for potentially incompatible changes?
How can I recover from mistakes? For example, I make a change that later turns to be an error, so I would like to revert to an earlier version of one or more files.
How can I recover files that a user accidentally deletes?
Everybody experienced one time this catastrophic case: deleting recursively one directory that contained thousands of important files.
How do we fix it? By getting the last backup that we hope we did not very long ago and by recovering the full backup, then scanning all the files to check the ones we need to recreate from scratch.
Not only we waste precious time in figuring out what we have lost and what we have to recreate, but also we are not sure that all mistakes we have previously fixed are gone away.
How can I recover or continue to work in case of important incident ?
For example, my server where are located all the files is broken or catches fire and is no longer accessible.
How can I recover or continue to work if my server has been stolen?
