jaclaz Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I think that's the best option too. Why bother if there's something pre-made that does the job reasonably well.......It would still be pretty simple to write such a tool in a number of languages.I will quote - just in case - Mikhail Kalashnikov http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-47http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-47#Design_conceptA lot of [soviet Army soldiers] ask me how one can become a constructor, and how new weaponry is designed. These are very difficult questions. Each designer seems to have his own paths, his own successes and failures. But one thing is clear: before attempting to create something new, it is vital to have a good appreciation of everything that already exists in this field. I myself have had many experiences confirming this to be so.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Just wanted to check in, and thank everyone for your input and direction. I did check out EVACopy, which is an excellent utility. It does ALMOST everything I need to do, but can only check once per minute of keyboard/mouse inactivity. You can technically set it for less (say, 0.1) but after the first attempt, it can't do it faster than 45 seconds due to the program's limitations. I chatted with the programmer, who has done a great job; the software should work nicely for most people who need such a solution. Unfortunately, when we're working on projects that need this auto-backup feature, we literally work steadily for hours without pausing long enough for the backup to kick in. So while EVACopy won't work for my needs (and I continue to investigate how to script this in some way), it truly is a neat program! I actually plan to use it for other purposes at home, so I'll definitely get some use out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
