Frank posted an idea about "Automatic Backups" in <br> <br>

ideas Frank: Increase Button for "save as" or backup file automatic <br> <br>

As this is also an good idea for me using also manually backups time 2 time i prepared an Batch File doing this for me - for Windows Systems: It's basic is this batch file:

rem @echo off 


@set TargetFolder=\%1\%2

echo.
echo BackupFolder: %1
echo Project-SourceFolder: \%1\%3
echo Backup-TargetFolder: \%1\%3
echo.
IF NOT EXIST .\%2\NUL GOTO ERR_SOURCE
echo.
echo ##Backup Folder mit Zeitstempel ##
echo.
echo ## Aktueller Zeitstempel ##
@set TimeStamp=%date:~-4%-%date:~-7,2%-%date:~-10,2%_%time:~-11,2%-%time:~-8,2%-%time:~-5,2%
@set local enabledelayedexpansion
@rem @set TimeStamp=!TimeStamp:^ =0!
@rem @setlocal disabledelayedexpansion
echo %TimeStamp%
echo.
echo.
echo ## Target Backup Folder with TimeStamp ##
@echo TargetFolder = .\%1\%2\%TimeStamp%
echo.
echo.
echo ## Creating Backup Folder ##
IF NOT EXIST .\%1\%3\%TimeStamp%\NUL GOTO CREATEFOLDER
GOTO COPYPROJECT

:CREATEFOLDER 
echo Target Folder not existing - Creating Folder
md .\%1\%3\%TimeStamp%\
IF EXIST .\%1\%3\%TimeStamp%\NUL echo Folder successfully created
echo.
echo.

:COPYPROJECT
IF NOT EXIST .\%1\%3\%TimeStamp%\NUL GOTO ERR_FOLDER
xcopy .\%2\* .\%1\%3\%TimeSTamp% /E /F
GOTO END

:ERR_SOURCE
!! Error: Source Path wrong Set
!! Project-Folder wrong in calling Batch File or in Link to this Batch File?
pause
GOTO END

:ERR_FOLDER
!! Error: Folder was not created !!
GOTO END

:END

It uses 3 Variables to give when calling: %1 = BackupFolder The main Backup- Folder on your System

%2 = SourceFolder The Yource Folder, where your Project and additional Files and Folders is located

%3 = Backup-TargetFolder The Destination Folder for your Backup

We assume you place that script avove the Project-Folder, eg.:

c:\www\projects\bootstrap\YOURPROJECT

so, we place the BatchFile into that Directory

c:\www\projects\bootstrap\CopyProject.bat

You may call it on command line like

c:\www\projects\bootstrap\CopyProject.bat backupmain YOURPROJECT YOURPORJECTbak

This will copy all Files and Folders from SourceFolder to DestinationFolder adding a folder with the Timeststamp when started the script

You also may create a second Batch File in

c:\www\projects\bootstrap\CopyYOUPROJECT.bat

which will contain such like:

@echo off
set BackupFolder=backup
set SourceFolder=YOURPROJECT
set TargetFolder=YOURPROJECTbak

call copy-bs-project %BackupFolder% %SourceFolder% %TargetFolder%

You may create a link e.g. on your Desktop to the copyYOURPROJECT.bat file or create a link containg the line to the CpyProject.bat with the 3 Parameters as mentioned above for the coimmand line.

It will result in

c:\www\projects\bootstrap\backupmain\YOUPROJECTbak\%TimeStamp"

OK.

Thats so far. Hope it works and you feel fine with it. But also hope that such a feature will be soon integrated in BS.
