Improvements: that allows to add plain text files, with lists of files and folders or to make the backup, text file with filters of all kinds of filters. These text files are generated manually or by scripts.
The idea is that it allows selecting from the Cobian Reflect program, in SOURCES, TARGETS, FILTERS allowed and not allowed.
In other words, you can select a file, or a folder, which also allows you to select a text file that contains the list of files and folders to perform the backup.
For example:
I choose to select "list of files and folders"
and I choose a plain text file that for example is called:
list_files_and_folders_source.txt
The program then reads this external file, and adds the contents of this list, as a list of source files and folders chosen for backup.
And this also has the advantage that it also allows the users of each computer to be able to change the files and folders, without the main backup administrator intervening.
Taking a lot of work out of the backup manager.
In other words, the administrator has chosen some files and folders in the Cobian control system, in a completely normal way.
But in addition, he has chosen a file called (the name of the text file that has the list of files and folders to make the backup).
This is "very important", because there are many external programs and scripts that generate lists of files to backup.
It is also important that they can be changed with a list of target folders, where the backup will be recorded.
In fact, these plain text lists have to act as if these folders had been configured and chosen from the program itself.
* list_files_and_folders_source.txt
* list_folders_target.txt
* filter list allowed files.txt
* filter list disallowed files.txt
File names are chosen by the Administrator once.
If the Administrator has chosen these file lists, the program will do so.
Thanks a lot.
