DONE: auto-save AutoHotkey.ini daily to another folder

(1/2) > >>

brotherS:
Hi,

I'd like to add a few lines to my main AHK script (that's running 24/7) that will copy this script to another partition but with the name AutoHotkey-YYYY-MM-DD.ini (so for today it would be AutoHotkey-2005-11-24.ini) once a day only - so I'd get one copy for every day the PC is running.

Any ideas? Maybe this could be somehow combined with the auto-reload on save script?

;auto-reloads the AHK script

mouser:
very useful idea.
can i suggest two additional features:
1) dont make a new backup file for the day if its identical to the last one.
2) zip it when making backup (in this case you wouldnt have to add date to file, just to zip).

brotherS:
I didn't suggest option 1) because I want it to be as fast as possible, but I like your suggestion 2)!

 :) How about something along the lines of


--- ---SetTimer,BACKUP,60000

BACKUP:
IfNotExist,D:\AutoHotkey-%A_YYYY%-%A_MM%-%A_DD%.ini
  FileCopy,C:\AutoHotkey.ini,D:\AutoHotkey-%A_YYYY%-%A_MM%-%A_DD%.ini
Return
