TrackTools is composed of two separate products, TrackBack and TrackDiff. TrackBack is a new kind of personal change management tool that saves hours, even days, of lost productivity for anyone working on source code files.

Centralized CM systems like CVS provide protection only once a version has been "checked in". With TrackBack, you have your own personal change management system.

TrackTools works in the background to monitor the specific directories and files you select, and creates backup versions according to your parameters.

TrackBack allows you to quickly compare original source files with the ones that have been changed and backed up.

With TrackBack, you have your own personal change management system that works in the background on your own computer, completely transparently.

It automatically monitors the specific directories and files you select, and creates backup versions according to your parameters.

This allows you to quickly compare original source files with the ones that have been changed and backed up. Differences displayed in the comparison can be viewed individually and moved, or restored, to the source file.

Differences displayed in the comparison can be viewed individually and moved, or restored, to the source file.
