Project Settings

README project-settings

Directory

The directory to create backups in. The project name will be used for the backup folder's prefix.

Exclude

File names to exclude. Currently supports exact match only.

On Exit

Creates backups when exiting the editor.

Rolling Timestamp

Adds a timestamp to the backup name. This allows historical backups to be created.

  • NONE - Adds no extra timestamp which would only ever create 1 backup.
  • DATE - Appends YYYYMMDD to the backup name allowing snapshots to be generated daily.
  • EPOCH - Appends the number of milliseconds that have passed since EPOCH allowing new backups generate on each exit.

Max Threads

The backups are created using threads. Using -1 will use all processors available to do the backup quickly. Using 0 or 1 will avoid creating entirely.

Tool Menu

README tool-menu

Create Backup

Create a backup immediately.

Open Backup Folder

Opens the backup folder using the computer's built in file explorer.
