So why is there no modern versioning file system, or is there? It always seemed like a nice feature to me when using VMS back in the stone age. Spalding 12:41, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vista does support it, and Norton GoBack also as an addon to Window$. This is indeed a great feature and I don't know why isn't it more widespread  doc Aberdeen ❖ 01:17, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What about "mod_dav_svn"? It is sort of an adapter between the versioning system Subversion and WebDAV. WebDAV in turn is a network protocol for filesystem access, and I guess it can even be mounted as ordinary filesystem in some operating systems. Altogether this solution might be concidered a modern versioning file system. Can someone verify this, and change the article accordingly? Michael R. 14:25, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

NTFS

What about NTFS's versioning through file's alternate datastreams? Shouldn't it be considered as a kind of versioning file system?

I mentioned NTFS, although It would be surpsising if it was done via alternate streams. (Doc aberdeen 00:33, 27 May 2007 (UTC))[reply]
Surprisingly enough, it is. AND it doesn't show up on the file size (which is just the size of the unnamed stream) or on the directory size.
