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 :-)
best regards,

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
