Hi,

Could it be possible to add an option to Project Backup to automatically make the bacup filename to be like this:

Projectname-date-time.zip

For example : MyProject-24.10.05-12.30.zip

It would make the backup job very easy and speedy.

Best regards,
Tapio

Yes. We've done. But only date, no time in filename. ;-)

Great, it's perfect.

Thanks to all the wizards who are making this wizards.

Now there is date + time.

I needed the timestamp also, because i make many backups during the day.
So, i can allways go to an older revision if something goes wrong.

Just a moment, is it just me that something maybe goes wrong?

Well, i allways thougth that in programming, most of the time is debugging.
Maybe i'm wrong. (it should not be the first time)

I also recommend that you use CVS or other version control system instead of frequent backup of projects.

If you don't have a server, you can use CVS local mode to store different versions, too.

Debugging costs much. But good programming helps debugging. ;-)

Want to recommend me a good CVS for one person, one computer, no server?

You can try this:

Or WinCVS, too.

Now WinCVS 2.0 can install a CVS server named CVSNT on your computer to let your PC become a server.
If you don't like this, you can download WinCVS 1.2 stable version, and use the local CVSROOT for it.

I've upgrade CNPack to latest stable version version (164), and i've found the backup project as i requested in feature request thread.
When i tried, i still have some request (sorry if its bother you :-D)
Can you add function to parse code of the selected project and search for some key that will automatically include some files, so that i don't have to add files each time i make a backup.
I need to do this because i need to make a complete backup for all of my related files for the project, like database file, report file or sql script files.
As for information, i cannot use other tools like WINCVS or Starteam, because i need this backup to make sure that each client have the latest source and resource needed to run and redevelop.
