Windows Local Backup
---------------------
Windows local backup system. Supports anything Sqlite3 supports.
The bundled TCC is designed for Windows XP.
Backups are stored in a SQLite database. Each backup is timestamped
at the time of execution, with an optional name.
Each file in the backup has it's SHA256 sum included. If a file has
an identical SHA256 sum, only one copy of the file is stored. The
relative directory of each file is stored.
-----------
Compilation
-----------
First you need to set up TCC.
1. Install TCC.
2. Download https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/w32api/w32api-3.14/
3. Copy the ``include` directory of this into ``tcc/include/winapi``.
After that, run ``compile.bat``. ``wlb.exe`` should be ready to run.
-----
Usage
-----
``wlb.exe`` executes each argument to it in sequence. Most of the time
you will run ::
wlb.exe \V \D dbname.wlb \A dir1 \A dir2 ...
``\V`` turns on verbose mode, which reports the name of each file
as it is being read. You can remove this to make WLB only report errors, or
you can use ``\VV`` to turn on debug mode.
``\D`` denotes the name of the database. This must come before all archive
commands. There can only be one ``\D`` specified per run. If specified file
does not exist, it will be created. If the file is a SQL database whose user
version is not a supported WLB version, the program will report an error and
close.
``\A`` requests WLB to archive a file or directory. If what follows is a
directory, then WLB will archive every file under the directory, and in the
directories under that, etc. There can be multiple ``\A`` commands corresponding
to different files/directories.
