FileBackup

Description

This application repeatedly copies a single file to a specified target directory. It is useful for making a backup of a file that is frequently changing. The target file will be updated every five minutes.

When the program is run, the user selects a source file and a target directory. The target file is assumed to have the same name as the source file but can be changed manually using the main window.

The user will be prompted if the source file is older than the target file.

Notes

• Applications are freeware and have been tested under Microsoft Windows XP Professional, not Vista. Vista is known to handle various issues differently, including audio mixers, audio settings, user accounts, and administrative permissions.
• Some applications may require administrative rights to the computer.
• Some applications have embedded files that are not provided with pubs, but these are not usually central to understanding how the pub works.
• Some applications create a single registry entry to save the location of the application window.
• setPubTitle was revised on 19 June 2008.
• Some applications overwrite text files in the application’s directory. Putting applications in their own directories is recommended.
• Initialization files may need to be deleted when updating with new versions. Some initialization files may contain important settings or other information.
• Version histories are available
• A Windows security update may prevent opening of CHM files that are downloaded from the Internet. To resolve this problem, clear the “Always ask before opening this file” check box in the Open File-Security Warning dialog box, and then click Open. If you click “Open” without clearing the checkbox, the help file’s table of contents will appear, but the body text will not. This is an issue only if you download the CHM file directly. The EXE file contains the CHM file and can display it without difficulty.
