File History style backups?

Thread needs solution

Just curious if True Image can backup in the same manner as Windows File History?

For example, back up all file changes every hour to a chosen NAS location.  Keep all those hourly changes forever, or until the NAS location fills up at which point it starts deleting the oldest versions first.

If I'm reading it right, True Image isn't really geared towards keeping lots of individual file versions for long periods of time like I'm used to.  Unless I want it to use heaps of disk space very quickly?

There is continuous back which is similar. I have tested it both with NAS and Acronis Cloud and it seems to work OK in my limited testing. There are some reports of it inexplicably stopping the backup process.

Thanks for that Ian.  I have been looking at the nonstop backup.  But it doesn't seem to have the ability to keep absolutely everything forever until the disk space runs low.  It consolidates from hourly, to daily, then weekly.  And the settings appear to be locked down to an on/off switch. I'm sure those settings would be overkill for what I'm doing anyway, but I'm just trying to figure out how this all works compared with what I'm coming from.
