RE: [amibroker] Re: Auto Folder backup, AmiBroker Email List Archive

Thanks Keith, but I think I’ll have to let go Aver.

Just tried GFI Backup-Home edition (free) suggested by wavemechaninc and I’m very satisfied. It can do synchronization / backup of files and folders , registry, e-mail, user settings locally, and also to a remote location using FTP.

Aron --
I'll try some things -- when I get a chance. It will take a few days.
Unfortunately, it appears that the author of AutoVer has lost interest in it.

So far I've just been using AutoVer to automatically and instantaneously backup every single little change that I make to source code (.afl). Once I get something into a somewhat stable state, then I go back and delete all the obsolete stuff.

No Keith,

I was not able to get it to work. I setup a Folder\Subfolder backup test :

Original\db_1

Original\db_2

Original\OK (backup only this subfolder)

Watcher Settings:

Watch Folder : Original

Backup to : Backup

Exclude Folders: \db_*\

Result:

Backup\db_1

Backup\db_2

Backup\OK

All the folders I tried to exclude appeared in Backup. And also Aver would not remember Watchers after closing the application. Maybe there is something I did wrong.

Thanks ,

Aron

Your welcome. Were you able to get it to work for you? If so, what was the solution?

I use AutoVer for automatically saving all my very, very frequent changes to .afl files and the like.
I've been looking for AutoVer's functionality for many years. Just found it last week. Love it, and its free.

Aron --
As for your problem, you might try just a subset to figure out what is going on. For example, do the following work in Exclude Folders? (might be faster to set up, for testing, a small folder\sub-folder\ set than to watch it try to backup all of your data sets for each test).

\onefolder\;\onemore
\onefolder\; \onemore
\onefolder\;\onemore\
\onefolder\; \onemore\
\onefolder\;\onemore\;\andanother
\onefolder\; \onemore\; \andanother\
\one*\
\one*\; \andanother

You see where I'm going with this.

Hello Rob,
A quick Autover question:
How to exclude from backing up Amibroker database folders (I have all named
them with "db_" prefix e.g.: db_Forex, db_eSignal, etc..) and also
Amiquote\Download.
I used in Setting>Advanced>Exclude Folders these parameters:
\db_*\;\Download
with no success.

Specifically I use AutoVer to keep a copy of my 'custom' folder on a remote
storage location via DropBox (which is awesome in case you haven't tried
it)...
