Which got me to think...would Volume Shadow Copy (see vssadmin.exe) be useful here (introduced in Vista, I believe)...or Win8+'s File History...

Most likely, but who really uses that :P

That's kinda my point...this infrastructure's been there for nearly 10 years, yet there's hardly any tools to make good use of it...

I would imagine that it depends on the synchronization you have - for instance my wife uses dropbox, and it is automatically synchronizes files in both ways, so if one of her files were changed by encryption it would be automatically synchronized to dropbox...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Yes. The cloud will definitely turn into a shyte storm and rain on your parade.

I know there are some developer who like to follow a style, as in, for example,
1. all member's variable name starts with '_'
2. The typical C# guideline, all public member start with upper case
3. always follow an "if" keyword with line return then open curly brace then line return then body then line return then close curly brace
And they get quite style Nazi with those who have different style.
On the other hand there are some other developer (like me) who don't care about style. Sure I have my personal style, follow 2 (C# casing convention), have many variation on 3 (somewhat consistent with 4 different way of using curly brace), but above all, I don't care much about other people style.. And if I have to refactor their code, I might locally update the style to my preference while I am at it... but that's it.
My questions would be...
How many people will consider themselves style agnostic vs style Nazi?

Every developer needs to be his own style nazi. Consistency! Consistency! Consistency!

Or you could use a language where the Nazis die fom boredom because there is not much you could do wrong. Like machine language. Here is the style guide: Hexadecimal.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Luckily (or unfortunately) I'm the only developer in the Company so I follow my own style. I'm not really strict on style but I do like consistency on naming conventions of objects and variables.
|
|
|
|
|
I am a Nazi, but if it is easy to read and understand, then I am happy.
|
|
|
|
|
So you're a happy Nazi?

Hah my style is... elastic but reasonably consistent. The amazing thing is that over the years the team of 4-8 developers have been happy to conform to it.
Only thing I won't abide is underscores! Imagine how I feel about Oracle conventions.

Nazi. Totally. And let me tell you why.
To read larger chunks of code with a mixed buffét of styles really hurts my eyes.
Sure I have a style preference. But much much more important is consistency. I am quite happy to submit to an "inferior" style if it is adopted all over the place. I would not like to work at a place without coding guidelines, in fact this is a question I ask at interviews.
... such stuff as dreams are made on

The only thing what bothers me when I am up to refactoring some other developper's code is when there is no style at all; inconsistency is quite disturbing, but as long as there is some consistency, even if it does not follow my own style, then I'm OK.
You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.
