Revision backups

Linecutters idea

is great. The first Sub being called in my sources is now BackupSrc which uses filecopy to create a copy every time I run the app

This creates a lot of copies but I just wasn't into adding a controlfile for limiting the amount of copies (every x minutes or so)

A very nice Idea...
One could even write an "auto-backup" app and shell it instead of having a complete sub...

I'm pressing F5 all the time in the "Open Source" section, but nothing pops-up

I have a slight feeling such an app is around ..... and well, if not I could start it.

Participants?

Scub.

Hi,

I'm not going to start it but I can set up some specs.

Maintain a folder List, in which it looks periodicaly (timer) if an .sbp file has different size than previous and if has it will make a copy adding a DateTime stamp, to a specified folder.

This utility should remain hidden in SystemTray (see dzSpy)
