In my work,
Case Auto backup all source file.
In Linux OS, i'm used cron/crontab command for create process schedule to run back up process.
In backup process, i'm packed all target project into bzip/tar.gz file and sent to another server/computer.

I am using Windows and would like ANT to take care of it.
Thanks

How can I automate Ant builds?
This will help you.

What exactly do you mean with "AutoBackup"? Are you using a VCS?

No I meant backing up the source files in my working space itself. Quite often, we make changes to some source code in our workspace and then everything stops working.. In such situations, I would like to go back to the source files which were working say about 1 hour ago....
So if I can have an hourly backup on my local workspace, it will be great...
Thanks,
Arijit

Eclipse has a local history - a kind of limited auto backup: it remebers some part of the history of every file. It is used via the "compare with" and "replace width" commands. How much it will remember can be configured in the workbench preferences.

Thanks Daniel.. A really nice feature...
But it keeps a local history whenever Save is pressed...
Pressing Save is generally very frequent and it will soon eat up all the Entries.
This means that if I have a project running for say 3 months.... I will have to set a very high range for Entries. Is that feasible ? How much space will it take up ?
I was hoping to back-up all the working source files at a particular DATE_TIME stamp. Local Histories are for individual files PLUS I will need to figure out manually the versions of each file.. combination of all the working files will give me a working project.
Hence the AutoBackup feature for ANT...
Thanks,
Arijit

It should typically suffice for the history of a day of development. For
anything beyond that time span, you really should use a VCS!
