The one your going to miss ;) Although looking a the computer models, I bet one of them could place the storm in Arizona.
Cheers
Yep. It'll rain, and we'll have a thunderstorm cocktail party on the patio >:-}
Spehro, et ux, has been here for a glass of wine or two or three... on our patio ;-) ...Jim Thompson

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
I will gladly donate some Tcl code I wrote for backup purposes. You'd, uh, have to install Tcl ( or use freewrap or something ).
The from/to paths are hardcoded. You'd have to change that, too.

That's mean :)

I can do a hardcoded version using a batch file that invokes XCOPY, which has a nice group of switches. I'd have to write something else, semi-klugey, to make a drag-and-drop wrapper around that.

He is an idiot.
There is a way. A very easy way. When you begin the copy, if there is a dupe, it asks if you want to overwrite it. It ALSO has a checkbox and script for doing the same thing with the remaining "xxx number of files with the same issue". So, you answer No, and it bypasses all existing files.
Geez, Linux has had this since before there even was a Linux (came over from Unix utilities.) tar, cp and other utilities can compare time stamps and only copy the new files.
(I'm sure windows has some utilities available for $50 or something, too.)

Oh that is just too much work!.. Can't you make it easier?

I dunno enough about batch files to be any help there. My backup regime is always the same paths, so...
-- Les Cargill
Surprisingly, if there are any they're very hard to find. There is an rsync for Windows but it looks scary.
-- Les Cargill
XCOPY will do it, but involves typing all the paths and a few switches. Seems primitive to me. I never really learned how to type.
I guess I'll have to write some sort of drag-and-drop wrapper for XCOPY.

Windows copy does that? All I see is
Yes Yes to all No cancel

Tcl is a month of pain followed by a lifetime of "I got this". Ditto Perl, Python, whatevah. The native DOS tools simply don't have the power.
best month I ever spent.

Err...What about the possibility of an extremely nasty solar flare storm - one that can literally fry all satellite electronics, and zap almost all ground-based electronics? Refs:
1) EE Times Sep 17,2012 pp 20-22 "Girding for the next 'solar max' " 2) Science Fact article in Analog SF&F Nov 2012 pp21-27 "The Day the Sun Exploded".Could be serious enough to totally crash all banking in the world,leaving the "Third World" nations in a superior position.
I've never seen that.

Don't forget the shift (or was it Ctrl?) key ;)
