fyi, Tomasz pointed out that losing formulas files is probably due to
opening more than 512 files. During development I forget a fclose() now and
then :-( so that is probably it.
Thanks, yes, a Folder-watch program is
another solution. Hadn't thought of that.
I have Acronis and know that XP
can perform some backup tasks too, but they to time consuming to set up and
use for short term backups.
I tried out: http://www.han-soft.com/index.php?Lang=English
and found it extremely simple to use and work smoothly. Actually I like it a
lot; took only 5 minutes to setup, and takes only two clicks to open and
perform a task. It allows me to set up multiple scheduled backup tasks that
also can then be performed manually. I created folders like
this:
FormulaBackup // routine full backups of my
Formula folder each 30 minutes
FormulaRestore // when restoring
selected formulas they end up here
FormulaCritical // This is
where I back up code at significant stages
I will also use it to back
up the auto exported TWS execution files. Good to have that too... and there
are probably other uses.
Like the Remote backup you mention... especially
when traveling :-)
No more losing afl for me :-)

Hello,
For whatever reason I every now and then lose a formula I am working on.
Usually the formula ends up as an empty file. When that happens I can
lose a whole day of work and spend even longer trying to recreate what I
had programmed before. If this ever happened to you before when you
start a new day then you will sympathize with the problem.
I am looking for a program that will automatically backup a selected
folder (my current afl project) to another location at periodic
intervals. I prefer that this code runs outside of AmiBroker. This would
make it virtually impossible to lose code.
Anyone using this method or know of a product that does this?
I will search the web but wanted to see what everybody else is doing.
Your help will be much appreciated!
herman
