ItsMeBobO Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 First release of the Sequence Backup tool. This one watches your LOR sequence folder and makes a copy each time you save. This way you can go back to check earlier versions.There are settings for you customize how many versions you want to keep and for how long. Of course it backs up even if you dont change a file. Any LOR extension in the LOR sequence folder is backed up. The program stays minimized but works in the background while you sequence.The date in brackets is added to the sequence file name and save on another drive of your choice.Example.

jstorms Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Are the sequences XML files? If so is the backup tool just storing the diffs between files or is it keeping full copies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with second drive backup storage. Products which do the 'diff' usually have hand typed changes. SE can make many irrelevant changes we dont care about and would not mean anything when we looked at them. But if you are worried about storage and you have a repository 'diff' product you are using... I can send the batch command to it so it can store what it needs for a diff.

ItsMeBobO Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 New version which will last until the end of July is available. This one will give the slow drive/large file time to write. Also has a hover over tool tip to click for setting the backup folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
