Undo Feature

[MaxX]

There's no way to UNDO most of operations you can do with TC. No chance. If you wish that, use ZFS or any another time-back solution.

"Undo"-function for overwritten files

There is no such thing, not even with Explorer. Please make a regular backup for that.

I'm doing nothing with the Explorer because it's rubbish...
TC is the more sophisticated tool and I love it since the beginning, I think it's more than 20 years ago that I have been working with it... A feature like the "overwrite-undo" would be nice...
It's not very comfortable to make a manual backup every time when I want to write a file, an automatism would help, isn't it...

Maybe Windows shadow copies would be a solution for you?

Please do not compare TC and Windows Explorer. I think you should be more proud...

Does XYPlorer keep copies of overwritten and deleted files?
Does XYPlorer's undo feature work if Windows Recycle Bin is disabled?

According to website undo is only for
XYplorer gives you multi-level undo/redo for file operations Move, Copy, Rename, Delete and New

I DOUBT it

I saw that - but "Copy" can lead to overwriting and the website does not say: "Copy (without overwriting)".

Without support for overwriting I don't see that an Undo feature can do anything that I cannot already do (I might have to look in TC's log)

...As I mentioned above, these copies are usually older, at least one day. If you overwrite a file recently stored, it's away...

If this happens so often as you describe you should change your work-flow

...This doesn't help very much...
If it happens just one time and it is not reversible anymore, could cause a desaster depending on the contents of the file. And the devil never sleeps...
My intention was to encourage the TC team to implement such a feature...

Theology has nothing to do with mistakes YOU make because YOU dont pay attention to what YOu do
(Not that I understand how as TC displays an overwrite warning where u can compare files....)

Theres is no team, there is ONLY Christian

And as pointed out an Overwrite Protection function would SLOW TC to a crawl if TC had to copy a GB big file somewhere
else as backup when you overwrite it just because YOU dont want to read a dialog TC shows you
