I am trying to find some way to keep track of the versions of files in a shared folder on Windows Server 2003. Something similar to the versions on DropBox but for a intranet.
Can someone tell me which possibilities I have to do this?
Edit:
I'm still researching what exists out there, budget is not defined. I would like to know more about the "on-save version control for windows server" solutions but when I search for it on google this post is the first result.

If you can live with timed backups rather than per save version control, Windows Server 2003 and later have a feature called volume shadowcopy. You allocate space (or a separate disk) and a schedule which will snapshot the filesystem and retain as much as it can based on the space you have allocated. Plenty of tutorials out there on how to do this.

Your clients must be XP or later to use this feature.
