#1 Support for rotating full backups, with SIS

[Pieter]

Hello,

I wanted to take rotating full backups of my personal files at home, but didn't find an application that supported this properly (in Windows environment). I found your application and took this as a basis to implement this... because it does already a lot concerning the scheduling part of backupping.

I refactored your backup class a bit so it could handle more than one backup strategy (not enough to make it clean, but enough to make it "readable", I hope) and added support for the rotating full backups.

I didn't change the user interface, partly because visual studio 2008 gave some errors, and mostly because I'm not used to programming .NET... but hardcoded in the private variable declaration of the Backup class at the moment that the "new" backup strategy is always used.

I don't know if u are stil actively working on the application, but since I found several people that wanted a similar backup strategy as I implemented, it would be interesting to include it in your project.

I added a 'history' in the header of the file as well as a 'todo'.

Lastly... my changes aren't tested thoroughly yet. I am starting to use the application now... and will make bugfixes where necessary...

Grtz,
Pieter

New version of

I am not working on any more improvements for it as there are so many free backup solutions available. Whats more, it requires modification as it currently does not run properly in Vista and I would assume Windows 7. If you wish to continue it's development please feel free as I have not placed any restrictions on the code.
