Looking for Recent Article on Backup Utility
-
A few weeks ago, a guy posted an article about a backup utility he had written. The way it works is that you give it a source directory and one-or-more target directories. It then backs up the source to the oldest target directory. In this way, you can keep a recent history of a directory for, say, the last week by running it daily on seven target directories. This happens to be precisely what I want, and I thought to myself, 'I must keep that post and install this when I get chance.' Unfortunately, I seem to have done my usual trick of putting it somewhere so safe that even I can't find it. Does any of this ring a bell with anyone out there? If not, can anyone suggest an alternative (preferably free, 'cos money is tight) tool that can do something similar? Any help would be very gratefully received. Kind wishes - Patrick

Excellent! Got it! I did do a few searches on Code Project but obviously missed the frustratingly simple method you used. My excuse is I have (had) blonde hair. (Am I allowed to say that anymore? Bound to traumatise someone.) Thank you! - Patrick

Maybe posting the link so the others can check it up?
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Sorry - you are right. It never occurred to me. Here is the link: Backup Utility implementing Backup Rotation Scheme (Open Source Windows Forms Application in C#)[^]
