[dba-Tech] Curious question

Aha! On the Previous Versions tab there'a a list of folder versions. There
are 2 a day, 3 minutes apartwhen they are made is not so obvious. One day,
it versioned at 8:58am and 9:01am -- three minutes apart. The previous
day's version times were 5:29pm and 7:38pm. A non-obvious pattern. Maybe
it's driven by activity? Just a guess.

Is this even what we're talking about or is this something else? I'm going
to keep exploring.
