I’m interested to hear what others are doing for Sailwave
file archiving. For most events
standard backups are fine. However, in
the case of qualifying and final series there are many changes of Sailwave
configuration settings between the series and regular archiving is needed.
It would be nice to have an archive button. After pressing the button the system would
save the current version with the same filename and append the date/time and an
optional comment that would also be appended to the file name.
For example: the “Dragon_Worlds.blw” would be saved as an
archived file called:
"Dragon_Worlds 2015-09-23 14:34:34 after race one data entry.blw"
You can accomplish the same with the “Save As” option, but
it’s more cumbersome and you have to make sure that you save the source.blw file first.

Try using Dropbox. It keeps copies of each file, when saved, for a month (I think). Going into the archives will show the numerous dated copies available for a particular file.

I agree with William as Dropbox being one of the best solutions. If you keep your Sailwave .blw file in a Dropbox folder every time you save it, Dropbox updates its web/cloud copy and makes a backup of the previous version. If you log into the Dropbox Web interface you can see all the copies that it has made and you can restore from any one. For the free version of Dropbox it keeps them for 1 month or apparently indefinitely if you have a paid account. If you want to be super organised have a notepad file in the same directory which you update with the time and status of the file each time you save it, which will make it easier to find the one you want to restore should you need to. There are other advantages in using dropbox such as if your PC fails or someone spills coke all over it (Not mentioning any names here) then you still have the latest version to use on another PC. Also you can share the file as read only with other users who can use it for printing reports and results.

With respect, I feel 'archiving' Sailwave.BLW files should be down
to each user to work out a solution that works for them. A word of
caution with regard to file names, there have been issues with long
path names to Sailwave.BLW files; so making long file names may be
an issue.
Dropbox has saved me on a couple of occasions. FYI - the *** free*** version of Dropbox keeps the latest 30 revisions of a file
and the only way I have found to access these revisions is via the
web interface.
Those with technical skills might consider implementing their own
environment, ownCloud may be something that they could consider. It
is similar in many ways to Dropbox but is totally under your
control. ownCloud allows versioning and the information can be seen
at
.
About ownCloud from Wikipedia
[]:
Because Sailwave.BLW is a text file, another technical solution
could be to use a source code change environment such as Git,
Subversion which track changes to a file(s) and allow comments to be
added at each save. This environment would allow one to re-create
the Sailwave.BLW to any point where a save had been made. But this
is not something for Sailwave to provide in my view.

Hi - Just to clarify, the free version of Dropbox does keep the last 30 days and not just the last 30 versions. They have changed the Pro account to which you can upgrade. This used to give you unlimited history but this is now a $39 extra on top of the pro subscription and is now 12 months only . You can keep all changes but for this you need to have a Dropbox for Business account. One product worth looking at is Bit Torrent Sync - now version 2.2. The free version has some limitations but the Pro version which is only £29.99 for personal use (No ongoing subscription now - changed recently). IMO this is a good and possibly better alternative to Dropbox for some applications and it supports history/versioning http://help.getsync.com/customer/portal/articles/1902065-does-bittorrent-sync-support-versioning-#configure For more details see https://www.getsync.com/

Hi Peter - I don’t think any built in system would be really effective as it ideally needs to be synced to some other storage for safety, but I’m open to suggestions. Dropbox is free for up to 2GB which is more than ample for storing blw files. I personally then use Microsoft’s Home Server 2011 to backup my Dropbox which keeps Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly backups. So in theory I can use the Free Dropbox 30 day backups then if I need to go back further I use the ones from the Home Server.

If you keep your Sailwave .blw file in a Dropbox folder every time you save it, Dropbox updates its web/cloud copy and makes a backup of the previous version. If you log into the Dropbox Web interface you can see all the copies that it has made and you can restore from any one. For the free version of Dropbox it keeps them for 1 month or apparently indefinitely if you have a paid account. If you want to be super organised have a notepad file in the same directory which you update with the time and status of the file each time you save it, which will make it easier to find the one you want to restore should you need to. There are other advantages in using dropbox such as if your PC fails or someone spills coke all over it (Not mentioning any names here) then you still have the latest version to use on another PC. Also you can share the file as read only with other users who can use it for printing reports and results.
Try using Dropbox. It keeps copies of each file, when saved, for a month (I think). Going into the archives will show the numerous dated copies available for a particular file.
I’m interested to hear what others are doing for Sailwave
file archiving. For most events
standard backups are fine. However, in
the case of qualifying and final series there are many changes of Sailwave
configuration settings between the series and regular archiving is needed.
It would be nice to have an archive button. After pressing the button the system would
save the current version with the same filename and append the date/time and an
optional comment that would also be appended to the file name.
For example: the “Dragon_Worlds.blw” would be saved as an
archived file called:
"Dragon_Worlds 2015-09-23 14:34:34 after race one data entry.blw"
You can accomplish the same with the “Save As” option, but
it’s more cumbersome and you have to make sure that you save the source.blw file first.
