Thought I'd post this as a new thread. It's a simple way to back up your projects, and you don't even need to remember to do it.
Requirements:
Winzip -

Winzip Command line support -

1. Create a Zip file for your project, this is your first backup.
2. Create a batch file in Notepad, using the following template...
"c:program filesWinzipwzzip.exe" -u -p -r -^^ "c:backup.zip" "C:MyProject"
If Not ErrorLevel 1 Goto Exit
Echo ***SERIOUS ERROR DETECTED***
pause
:Exit
You need to edit this with:
a. The location of wzzip.exe, the command line support program
b. The location of your zipped backup file
c. The directory your project resides in.
3. Use Windows Task Scheduler to run your batch file at appropriate intervals. Mine runs at 17:20 every evening. The batch file will add new files to the zipped backup, and replace chnaged files as well.
4. Sleep easy, and hope you never really need to use your backup.
