Windows does have file versions, I can go in properties and do this but I think you have to set it up. I like your idea and I've been using git for the same (since I have very little binary data I don't feel bad using the free websites with a git commit -a; git push)
But this was another of my motivations behind this question- (which I didn't mention), why buy 1 4TB which will crash anyway but not 4 1TB. As people are getting more pro- I think Microsoft should lead with home RAID solutions. I know there was Windows Server Home but that's no more now. The OS should do integrated backup to various remote storages.
I thank you both for your replies. Far as RAID, it would be nice for Microsoft to do more in that area for desktops. I do remember when I used Windows there were RAID appliances that you could set right next to your desktop. You just plug in some HD's. Plug the appliance into the desktop. It does the rest.
I'm sure they're still around for anyone that wants better RAID than what Microsoft has. Probably got a lot cheaper, too.
