Simple Backup Tool

Because of that we separated our development server and put it to another network, we needed to apply different backup solutions. Before that, I used xcopy to move all folders to another server in same network environment for backup daily. It worked perfectly. But we had to find a solution to compress all source and upload them to another server via FTP. This should be automated.

Needles to say how backup solution is important. Just read the cartoon below.



I decided to develop a simple console application tool called Simple Backup  to compress folders I need to backup and upload them to another server via FTP. With this tool I'm able to set password to folders which are compressed. The only thing I have to do to set some configurations and define folders to be compressed and uploaded. That's the way I called it Simple Backup tool which was built by using .NET Framework 3.5.

In order to use Simple Backup tool you need .NET Framework 3.5 or higher installed in your pc or server
