Projects Backup (au3) (previous downloads: 210)

Projects Backup (zip) (previous downloads: 209)

(these were last updated on the 10th May - small fix & improvement)

This is a nifty program, that I created some time ago, and which I've found indispensable.

As I mentioned in another post, it needed rewriting ... that has now been done. This is so much better ... more flexible ... more reliable than before, and in my view works a treat. Any self respecting programmer who hasn't got a tool like this, is missing something special!

Be aware, that the first time you run the program (the installer version does this automatically), a registry entry for your right-click context menu is created, so that you can right-click on a folder, and back it up.

Basically the program creates a folder (same name as the one you clicked on) at a location you specify (this can be different for each project ... I just use the same location for all i.e. D:\Backups\Projects). It then creates another folder within, that I call the version folder - this is in the range v0.0_b01 to v9.9_b99, the beta extensions can be left off as well so that you can get full version ranges v0.0 to v9.9. You can rename projects and the backup folder name (through the program) at any time ... which is handy for those who (midstream) think another name would be better. You can also rename the version name folder (keeping within the range above, if you want it to still be recognised by the program).

The program stores a list of all projects, the last backup version and location - accessed through a combo, for removing, editing, etc.

The program automatically increments each use, but you can specify to overwrite or replace. You can also specify your own version name (from within the range mentioned). Options for feedback can be enabled / disabled, and you can have it increment automatically, without the GUI showing. You can elect to have the backup folder open after backup, so that you can visually check or edit the results. The program itself, has a few informative dialogs, to help you come to grips with the use & options, but I think the program is pretty intuitive to use anyway.

Please give feedback, ask for help, suggest improvements, etc.

Does anyone know how to create a folder in the right-click context menu? This could alleviate a bloated menu from time to time! Please don't tell me about programs that do this, I want to programmatically do it myself via the registry!

Yeah, I know! Lots of programs somehow do it though ... just like the SendTo menu, which is easy to create folders in, so there must be a way?

Hey I haven't tried your script, but have you taken a look at any other version-control software?

A common free one is CVS, and you can get the windows binaries here

There's also one called SourceSafe that comes with Microsoft Visual Studio.

The place I work at we use one called Seapine Surround SCM.

Hi blindwig,

I haven't had a look for a while, and though I may look at the sites & progs you mention, I haven't got the heart to use anything other than mine now, after all the work I put into it ... it works a treat anyway ... even my older version did the job quite well. But hey thanks for the tip!

Also thanks for looking for the other RazerM!

Hi RazerM

I now have created a program, that is a bit of a work-a-round to the above -

Context_Options

Please let me know what you think!

The latest version of the Projects Backup program can now be downloaded from TheSaint's Toolbox post ... along with many of my other programs.
