Short: A simple backup tool.. v1.42 Author: Daniel Westerberg (daniel TA onyxsoft TOD se) Uploader: Daniel Westerberg Type: disk/backup Version: 1.42 Architecture: m68k-amigaos This is a simple backup tool, nothing fancy. It simply copies files from one directory to another. Ofcource it only copies files that are different in some way, like size or date etc. It also has a skiplist where you can add directories and large files (512kB+) that you don't want to be backed up. It also has a feature that makes you able to remove old files from the backup unit (Target) by comparing all files on the backup with the files on the work unit (Source) and delete the files that does not exist on the work unit from the backup. *** This program has been successfully tested on AmigaOS4-upd3 News ~~~~ * NEW * Now it is possible to browse a directory BackUp has just created and is working in. This was not possible before. * FIX * Now the closegadget in the window works to quit BackUp. The bug in MorphOS that had me disable it a long time ago has been fixed now. Please report any problems!! * NEW * Made it possible to pause or stop while copying a large file. I noticed that when backing up video files it could be quite useful to be able to stop or pause immediately. * NEW * Now only logging the entering of a directory in verbose mode. * NEW * Now logging creation of directories in non-verbose mode. v1.41 * If a path to something was empty a random string could have appeard in for example an ASL-requester. v1.4 * I have changed the communication between the main process and the backup process to use message ports instead of just a signal and shared memory. Most other parts still use shared memory though as both processes is part of the same executable. Please report any malfunctioning with emulated systems (MOS/OS4/Amithlon/..)! * The time doesn't use battclock resource anymore but dos.library so people without a battery clock will be able to see how long it took now too. * Now BackUp can be used in a script to automatically backup many different directories or partitions as I have added a couple of CLI-arguments which can make BackUp start and operation immediately and then quit automatically allowing a script to execute BackUp for many different locations at once without user-intervention! * Added a safety requester before cleaning as I accidently cleaned my GeekGadgets GCC-installation when betatesting! :-( (Not used when compiling BackUp though :)) * Now you can see how many bytes were deleted after a Clean operation. * Added a Test Mode so that you can simulate a backup or cleaning to see how many bytes that would be copied and how much space that would be required before you start for real. * Added some more info to the stats in the main window including how much space was actually required, not just how much was copied which usually is alot more. * Made it possible to not clear the list between every operation but keep old info. * Added the possibility to log all directories and files that BackUp traverses or skips. This can be logged to the stats window, the console or a file in verbose or normal mode. * Now BackUp remembers the paths for different things, not just use the latest path picked in an ASL-requester. * The protection bits, date and comment was not set correctly for directories other than those in the root during a backup operation. * Doesn't ask to unprotect an undeletable file while cleaning anymore unless the file actually is delete protected. * Changing the skiplist during a paused operation didn't work quite as expected before. * Changing the source and target while backing up does not cause the backup or clean to change its root directory too as it did in pre v1.4. * Pressing Stop while paused will not require you to press continue (Backup/Clean) anymore to make the stop take effect. v1.31 * Added a byte counter so that you can see how many bytes were copied or updated, not just how many files. * Added a Help entry in the menu which will bring up the text shown at startup of the program. v1.3 * Now you can see how many files has been scanned, copied and failed during an operation. * Now all errors are listed in a window so that you can see exactly which files that failed, if any. v1.2 * Now there is a clean function which makes you able to remove all old files from your backup unit without the need to manually spend hours tracking down files that's old! * Now the time for an operation, like the backing up, is displayed when the operation is finished.
