After losing a good 30 WUs (over 600 points each) or so over the last few months because of simple problems caused by memory errors, I was truely fed up! There had to be a better way...

Now, it being a Friday night and having some time between dinner and getting together with a bunch of friends, I decided to write a simple DOS batch file to try help the pain of lost WUs.

After about 5 revisions thinking of improvements, I finally have a finished product!

The FAH Backup System!

Imagine being able to restore F@H 2 days back in 1 hour increments! Or 12 days back in 4 hour increments!
Imagine a deleted WU due to a disk IO/Error at the 99th frame being fully restored in a matter of seconds even days after it occured!
Imagine being able to backup all of your machines with minimal configuration to one machine! IMAGINE A 1KB DOWNLOAD!

It is clear, this is the program that y'all have been waiting for!

It is a simple DOS batch file. Easily edit it to fit your machine(s) and then you are set!

To make it backup on a scheduled time frame, use Window's Built-IN tast scheduler. Set it to run as often as you want! You have 48 restore points to work with (by default, easily increased to infinite restore points) so maybe set it to backup every hour and then you have 2 days of restore points!

The batch file is self-explanatory and easily configured for many machines! Configure before you use!

Note to all who try it out: Backing up the FAH folders takes a LOT of space. A full 48 restore points of a single machine takes a good 1.5GB, although this can be cut down to (on average) 900MB per machine using Windows internal folder compression. This can be further reduced to much less if you decrease the number of restore points.

Give it a try and tell me what you think! Any good ideas will be incorporated into the next release!

*****EDIT*****
New version has been released with bug fixes. See the website for more details!

Não experimentei, visto que não sofro deste problema, mas quem tenha deve testar visto que parece resultar. Usando o Windows Sheduller, configuramos para fazer um restore de hora a hora, por exemplo, e visto termos 48 saves possiveis (até podemos ter mais, mas reparem que isto ocupa espaço no disco..) e, em caso de erro, restaurar na hora anterior ao erro.

Parece-me bem :) Reportem experiências.

Keep folding :x2:
