llewxam Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 As a preface, I am a computer tech and as such I often need to wipe and reload Windows for customers. Data backups are something that can't be taken lightly - people usually have a lot of it, but no idea what/where and no backups. Add in that some apps like certain versions of Quicken, QuickBooks and other (non-Intuit) apps don't always save user data in their Documents folders, plus hiring other techs who may not know where to find things as simple as an Outlook PST file, or someone just having a bad day and missed something.................. you see where this is going - we (technicians) need a stand-alone data backup tool that works on any version of Windows that can reliably save data. What I am posting is my 5th version that I have written for my company's use. V3 worked like a charm, but was slow in all respects - searching was slow, and the actual copying was slow using the AI internal Copy() command, plus using the standard ProgrssBars in Vista/7 drives me CrAzY due to the lag. I wanted to re-write it to address these issues! I have stripped out some functions found in the forums here to fit my uses, namely _FileListToArrayXT (here renamed _DocFolderFind), _LargeFileCopy (SOOOOOO much faster when it has to deal with lots of little files!!!!!), and the use of GDI+ ProgressBars to avoid the Aero lag. V5 works great much of the time, but not always, and that is why I am posting in Help and Support rather than Example Scripts - because I am at wits end and want some feedback, and hopefully this app will congeal in to something useful to many others in my line of work! Final notes - YES, I wanted the GUI to make the user's eyes bleed!! haha, it was fun making it and I dig it. The included 7Z file has the script plus all requisites - background.jpg, GDIpProgress.au3, and takeown.exe for file/folder ownership. I debated posting the script in a code tag, but it is 1422 lines at the time of posting, so......no. I thank anyone in advance for input, fixes, and suggestions on making this tool a great, free, and universal solution!!!!!

Chimaera Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 One small thing i did find was if when choosing destination if you close the X and shut the popup, you cannot choose again on the destination box, as it turns green and wont do the popup again, ill test more later when i have time and report back. PS very in your face colours If Ive just helped you ... miracles do happen.

llewxam Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 The biggest problem has been the file detection routines, sometimes blank entries were getting in so I have gone to the ends of the Earth trying to eliminate blank entries. Either due to that or other issues the app fails some times while the "Please wait, sorting" window is up. Other than that, just random bugs that cause it to crash on occasion, and I am looking for other improvements to speed, reliability, and ways to find other data that I haven't specified. One other idea I had that I wanted feedback on, forgot to post it above - I was thinking of having an XML file and a way for the app to update it so people could specify additional things to browse for. Example - this version does not have MYOB detection, so if you wanted it, add it to an XML file, or make individual XMLs for specific jobs, and then the app can look for that data. Thoughts??
