@obeliks It's open source so knock yourself out.

But you might want to wait until next week. I have a huge update and extension coming. @gtj0 will probably be very happy then.

Upload???????

On Windows, for those that struggle to 'cd' into the right directory: If you hold "Shift" while right clicking (inside the folder in Explorer), the popup menu will have an extra item: Command Prompt or Power Shell; it will for example be called "Open PowerShell window here" and when clicked will open it in the right directory.

Along with my duetbackup.exe package, I made plain .txt files with the commands I used for the backup (one for each duet), so that I can simply copy/paste (always using the same parameters):

.\duetbackup.exe -domain "duetname.local" -outDir ".\duetname" -password "duetpassword"

Command Prompt does not allow pasting, but the PowerShell does: first copy the command you want to use, then right click in the PowerShell window - it will auto paste.

Anyways, thank you @wilriker for this tool, it does what it says on the box, no issues found.

Not quite true? At least resent versions pastes if you do either of Ctrl + V, Shift + Insert or just right click in the window. Maybe you have a group policy setting that prevent it on your system?

If anyone would like to try it out. It is not yet tested, but it should work.
https://github.com/OBELIKS/duetbackupGUI/releases

The code is not nice, but you can clean it up if you want. I will test it sometime today.

Which platform is this for?

[OBELIKS]

Windows, it should work on 32 bit

[Dougal1957]

@obeliks I think you need to make that clear on your GitHub I would not have been happy if i had downloaded it being a OS-X user

[OBELIKS]

Added, thanks.

@dougal1957
Is there such a thing as a happy OS-X user at all? Haha just kidding, nice to have a GUI on it have to try it this evening

[OBELIKS]

Just FYI, GUI works! I finally had the time to check.
So I marked it as released.

Next plan is to implement the exclusions and maybe a bit more feedback while it is working.

[OBELIKS]

I made some changes to the GUI and added the exclude command

Small teaser of things to come

 $ ./rfm help
rfm provides a command-line interface to perform file actions
against the HTTP interface of a device running RepRapFirmware.

Usage:
        rfm <command> [arguments]

Each command will at least expect the argument -domain which
specifies where on the network the device is located. This can
either be a resolvable hostname or an IPv4 address.

The commands are:
        backup     Backup a given directory on the device
        upload     Upload local files/directories to the device
        mkdir      Create a new directory on the device
        mv         Rename/move a file/directory on the device
        rm         Remove a file/directory on the device
        download   Download a single file from the device
        fileinfo   Get information on a file
        ls         Show the file tree of a given path

Use "rfm <command> -help" for more information about a command's
arguments.

And here we go:

rfm - RepRapFirmware FileManager

duetbackup will be deprecated and discontinued in favor of this much enhanced tool.
