-
Selective deletion of old archives, example: automated profile, compress mode, destination directory Z:\MyBackups. Every archive has 250 MiB in filesize. After some time the destination directory contains dozens or hundreds or archive files.
This feature offers the possibility to delete all but the last e.g. 15 archive files. It's also possible to keep 15 archive files plus all files created on mondays and the first/last day of a month or year.
This helps to keep a good base of archive files and frees disk space.

Information about "multiple source directories per profile"
This feature will be implemented later. A lot of refactoring is needed to make this feature working correctly.
Profiles view: columns like folder size, etc (like in details view) and possibility to choose/hide columns
Is going to be implemented later too together with some major "under the hood" changes.
Group colum
The profile list will receive some major changes in future!
Tokens
Possible Tokens in source path, destination path, version path (deleted files), save collected files to text file path, run before/after feature file name path + parameter and archive file name path:
Token list:
{d}- Outputs the day as number. Without leading zero
{dd}- Displays the day as number. With leading zero
{ddd}- Outputs the weekday as shortcut
{dddd}- Outputs the full weekday
{m}- Outputs the month as number. Without leading zero
{mm}- Outputs the month as number. With leading zero
{mmm}- Outputs the name of the month as shortcut
{mmmm}- Outputs the full name of the month
{yy}- Outputs the year with two digits
{yyyy}- Outputs the year with four digits
{h} / {hh}- Outputs the hour with/without leading zero
{n} / {nn}- Outputs the minute with/without leading zero
{s} / {ss}- Outputs the second with/without leading zero
{date}- Outputs the current time
{time}- Outputs the current date
{computername}- Outputs the computers name
{username}- Outputs the name of the logged-in user
{profilename}- Outputs the current running profile name
{backupjobtype}- Outputs the current running profile mode name (e.g. "Exact copy")
{filelistpath}- Outputs the file path to the the user defined file containing all collected file names
Available as a custom text file format when the feature for saving all collected files to a file list is enabled:
{sourcefilename}- Outputs the source file name of the file which is just being processed
{destinationfilename}- Outputs the destination file name of the file which is just being processed
{sourcepath}* - Outputs the source path of the file which is just being processed
{destinationpath}* - Outputs the destination path of the file which is just being processed
*: also available in file name for the feature mentioned above.
All tokens can be choosen by clicking the link [Show token list] next to each associated input field.
Use tokens instead of drive letters - available everywhere
Introducing with this token system, drive letters in paths can now be totally dynamic by replacing them with a drive name.
Before:D:\Backup\Documents
After:[External HDD]:\Backup\Documents
Given the last case the program will go through all connected drives. The first drive found with the given volume name will be used to complete this path. If no drive can be found, the path will be emptied. This means the program will continue like if the user didn't input something.
This feature respects case sensitivity.
Allowed profile name characters
Introducing with the new token system it's now allowed to use the following characters in profile names:
[ ] { } \ / : * ? <and>
The new parameter -tempprocessingmode will set a process/copy mode temporarily for all profiles in the queue.
You can use "simplecopy", "exactcopy", "move", "exactmove", "compress", "exactcompress", "synchronise" and "mirroring".
jaBuT.exe -runProfile Test -tempprocessingmode exactcopy
Archiv-Tags %
Archive tags % have been replaced by { and } to ensure uniformity for the new "token" feature. All profiles still using % tags in archive file format have to be updated.
Example: %yyyy% becomes {yyyy}.
Internal changes
i.a.:
- Profiles using the "exclude on (day)" option need to be updated because of internal changes.
- Profiles using the "time to execute" option need to be updated because of internal changes.
Note: the jaBuT Backup Updater can automate this process using jBSettingsConverter.exe.

jaBuT Backup is now "Cardware" (free)
From Wikipedia:
"Postcardware, also called just cardware, is a style of software distribution similar to shareware, distributed by the author on the condition that users send the author a postcard. Postcardware, like other "novelty" software distribution terms, is often not strictly enforced."
Info: jaBuT Backup is still completely free and does cost absolutely nothing!
I decided to change from "freeware" to "cardware" because of a simple reason:
someone who wants to decompile software or put it in Download Managers or whatever, will do it even when there is a licence saying it's not allowed. Bad people stay bad.
Pausing profiles
When pausing a profiles which is scheduled for execution at, let's say, 1:00:00 PM stays in paused state for 5 seconds, the 5 seconds paused time will be added to the next execution time of this profile. This profile would start at 1:00:05 PM.
When re-activating the profile and the current time is bigger than the time the profile has been scheduled for execution, the profile will be executed in the next interval.

Filters Step 2: Include and exclude files and directories re-done
The whole inclusion and exclusion functionality of files and directories has been re-done with the help of Dieter S..
The new code much lighter and should be faster too. The new functionality works as follows:
To include or exclude a whole directory with all its content simply use
» e.g.:\TestDirectory\*
To include or exclude a special file use
» e.g.:\TestDirectory\file.txt
If you prefix the file or directory with a\it means the given file or directory to include or exclude needs to be at the beginning of every path to include or exclude it with success.
Otherwise without\, the file or directory to include or exclude can be everywhere in the path.
You can use several wildcards to make it easier to filter files and directories.
»\TestDirectory\file.*would filter all files with the filename "file" and any extension (*) in the directory TestDirectory.
»\TestDirectory\file.????would filter all files with the filename "file" and an extension with minimum 4 characters (????) in the directory TestDirectory.
»\TestDirectory\fi*.*would filter all files with the filename beginning with "fi" and any extension (*) in the directory TestDirectory.
»\TestDirectory\file_??.*would filter all files with the filename beginning with "file_", minimum 2 more characters (??) and any extension (*) in the directory TestDirectory.
»\TestDirectory\???.txtwould filter all txt files with a filename with minimum 3 characters (???) in length in the directory TestDirectory.
»\TestDirectory\*.txtwould filter all txt files in the directory TestDirectory.
User defined archive comment
Users now have the possibility to add their own comments to the already added comment of an archive.
\r\n can be used to add a new line.
Either you can setup a comment in the advanced profile settings or with a user defined command. Just calljaBuT.exe -runprofile Test -archivecomment "My\r\nComment"
-
Filters Step 2: Include and exclude files and directories re-done
-
- Added localized weekday names and month names for archive names
- Step 1 of the re-implementation of the filter functionality done (see notes below)
- Extended the ability to delete empty directories (see notes below)
- Added ability to use enviroment variables in source and destination of a profile
- File timestamps are now transfered to the destination file (1 to 1 copy)
- Directory attributes and timestamps are now tranfered to the destination directory
- Improved the program start up speed by about 14% (see notes below)
- Columns are sortable again like before
- Fixed error "Balloon hints option not saving"
- Fixed error "Progress mode isn't set when calling jabut via command line"
- Fixed an error which freezed the program when using "Delete empty directories
-

Filters Step 1
The filter functionality needs to be redone completely. Step 1 is done and the simple inclusion and exclusion of files and directories is working.
To include or exclude a whole directory with all its content simply use
» e.g.: \TestDirectory\*
To include or exclude a special file use
» e.g.: \TestDirectory\file.txt
Delete empty directories
Since long time there is an option which gives you the ability to delete empty directories after a profile run has been done. This function has been extended. Now you choose between the deletion of empty directories only in the source directory, the destination directory or both of them.
Program startup speed
When using automatic executed profiles the program now starts by about 14% faster.

Contact form
The contact form is now sending the following information:
- your name (if given)
- a subject (always needed)
- your message (always needed)
- your e-mail address (if given)
- the program version (automatically)
Parameter attribute "force"
Passing the parameterjaBuT.exe -restart or jaBuT.exe -exitrestarts or exits the program normally. In this case the restart or exit is executed once all user inputs are done. This means, if there is a message dialogue open to confirm and you pass the parameter restart or exit, the action will wait normally until you confirmed the message dialogue.
The parameter attribute -force will close this dialogue in any case automatically and performs the desired action.
Speed improvements
» The speed of the function which creates the file list before preparing the profile has been improved by about 32%.
File comparisons are done after the list has been created.
» Until jaBuT Backup version 10.0.45 the JumpList was completely redone everytime the profile list has been reloaded.
Now the JumpList is only redone when at least one profile has been changed.
Furthermore the routine which loads and reloads the profile list has been redone completely.
The overall result is a speed improvement by about 80%.
» The speed when preparing a profile run was totally horrible until version 10.0.45. Preparing a profile with thousands and thousands of files in version 10.0.45 can take several minutes depending on the system configuration.
All methods have been improved drastically. Now preparing a profile with many thousands of files using file modifiction comparison only takes a few seconds.
The binary file comparison can take up a few seconds more depending how much files need to be compared (takes noticeable longer with 10^5 files or more)
» Compressing files has been improved by compressing the files in memory now instead on the disk. This gives an average speed improvement by about 97%.
To benefit by this improvement you need to enable the option reffering to this improvement in the Advanced profile options window.
10.000 files dialogue
The "More than 10.000 files were found" dialogue is now being displayed earlier in the process when starting a profile to save resources. Like this the program uses about 47% less memory when starting a profile.

Parameter -showmessageonfinish
This parameter can be passed like this:
jaBuT.exe -runprofile Test -showmessageonfinish
This parameter will force show a message with some information when all profiles have been executed.
Note: this message will also be displayed in Silent Mode.
Mirror copy
When using Mirror copy mode and the content of the source and destination files are indentic, the file dates are compared to each other. If the file dates are identic too, the file will be skipped and not copied.
Jump List
Until version 10.0.39, the Jump List only contained the profiles of the current active profile group. This was changed in 10.0.40 and the list now contains all profiles.
Info: if you can not see all profiles in the list, you may increase the number of maximum jump list entries in the taskbar settings.
Profile limitation of 70
jaBuT Backup is using an Ini file for storing all kind of profile related informations. Ini files can store a maximum of 64 kilobyte. One jaBuT Backup profile needs about 0,9 kilobyte of storage.
0,9 kilobyte * 70 = 63 kilobyte.
Access violation
When clicking on a non-default profile group created by a user, selecting a profile and reloading the profile list, the program issued an access violation when closing.

New parameters
Parameter handling has been redone. The old code was a mess and parameters were fixed on positions.
All parameters now need a prepended hyphen!
You can pass the parameters now on every position.
For example the following will start the profile "Test" without preview, the program will be minimized and when the profile run is done the program will be closed:
jaBuT.exe -runprofile Test -minimize -nopreview -exit
Only parameters need prepended hyphens. Attributes do not need them.
When starting a profile, the first parameter ist still and always e.g: -runprofile "profile name"
You can now restart the program via command line using the parameter "-restart". You can also pass "-admin" to restart the program with administrator rights or "-silent" to restart it in silent mode.
For example the following line will restart the program with administator rights in silent mode:
jaBuT.exe -restart -admin -silent
Note: to restart an instance with administrator rights you need to start the command line with administrator rights.
The new parameter -tempprogress will set a progress mode temporarily for all profiles in the queue.
You can use "mainform", "progressdetails" or "traywindow".
jaBuT.exe -runProfile Test -tempprogress progressdetails
The new parameter -multithreading will set multithreading temporarily for all profiles in the queue.
You can use "enable" followed by a number of threads or "disable".
Directory verifications
Example: you want to copy a directory from your Desktop to C:\Program Files (x86)\. In general this fails because the program needs administrator rights to write to this UAC protected destination.
In case of a fail the program will now tell you it needs administator rights to execute your desired profile.
Copy files in use (Test)
Many files in use can now be copied by the program. They are NOT copied under the following conditions:
- Source File and Destination File are existent and Destination File is in use
or
- Destination File is existent and in use.
There are still files which can not be copied right now.
E-mail notifications
Since this version you need to activate the e-mail feature explicitly to get e-mail notifications.
Old program settings using e-mail notifications need to be updated.
Little Information about the portable mode
To enable jaBuT Backup Portable mode, just create a directory called "jaBuT" in the same directory where your jaBuT.exe file is located. When launching jaBuT Backup on a removable device, the portable mode is activated by default.
Inlude and exclude files and directories
This feature has been limited for a renewal. Currently you can still use it, but wildcards aren't working.
