XML Properties

Within the XML settings file there are blocks wrapped in a "Node" tag. These nodes are the backup items that the program will iterate through. For multiple backups, just add more node blocks.

Within the nodes there are 4 fields that are required for a backup:

Directory: The directory field is the directory that you want to backup, this directory must exist

BackupDirectory: The backup directory is the directory to store all of the backups for that node. Each backup will create a zip file. The name of the zip file will be the systems date and time. If the directory does not exist, the program will make one.

ErrorLogPath: The error log path is the path to a text file that will be used to store any error messages the program might have. If the text file does not exist, the program will make one.

LogPath: The log path is the path to the text file that will be used to store a log of each backup. If the text file does not exist, the program will make one.

Source Code

The source code is included in the download. The program is written in C# and doesn't not depend on any third party libraries, only the Windows .NET framework.
