Hello, Can I run file versioning periodicaly? For example to make a version of files every hour. Not every time the file has been changed.

No, but the staggered versioner has settings to keep x versions over y time. (I presume you want fewer versions for an often changed file, not more identical versions of a file that isn’t changing.)
