SimpleBackup / Blog: Recent posts

Because I only use Linux for a year now, I decided to move the whole project to a more cross-platform language. First I wanted to rewrite everything in Java or C++ because both are interesting languages (I have a lot of experience in writing Java code and a bit in writing C++ code).

Nevertheless I choosed go (or 'golang') as the language I'll continue (or 'revive') this project. Go is a very new language (about 3 years old) and is a really interesting, easy to learn and nice language.
I hope the new version of SimpleBackup will be easier to use, less buggy, more powerfulland fancier than the current version.... read more

Released version 1.3.0.0. today. We've done a lot of bug fixes and also added some new features.
Here's an overview:

• Removed options->settings->saved settings
• added three buttons under the list box to edit list entries
• translations are now stores in an external file (eg. "lang_de.txt")

Hi all,

proudly I can say that a team has been formed around SimpleBackup. To control the coding-stuff, we use now github (https://github.com/hauke96/SimpleBackup) and some other useful tools (chat, todo-list, etc.)

I just implemented two new features and fixed one bug, so it's nothing really big ;)

• [FEATURE] Size of the current file ( in the end of its name )
• [FEATURE] Files with a destination path containing more than 260 characters don't cause an error anylonger
• [BUG-FIX] File paths wich are wider than the window is, will display a tooltip after hovering the label

Only for insider ;) : The file with the newest version-name ( for the update-check ) is now on sourceforge.net and not on arengu.square7.ch.

Just fixed some minor bugs and added a pause function.

Changelog:

• Backup job can be paused
• some minor bugs after finished backup fixed
