<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 578592 by <a href="/recipes/users/4182761/">commentator8</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/control/">control</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/version/">version</a>). </p> <p>A basic form of version control that when used in combination with dropbox and notepad++ (optional) provides reliable backup with tags of files/folder.</p> <p>Files mode can be used for individual files, in practice i used it with python files primarily. Folder mode allows for backup of folders, especially useful for a class split over various files with __init__.py in root of a folder.</p>

This will consist of a copy of all folders and files with only names and extensions retained, not size. This allows browsing of a remote drive or network location when offline.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>This script (or exe if using web2py with """setup(windows=['locker2.py']))""") can be run as a task in windows every x minutes and will test for the presence of an internet connection and depending on whether it is found will set windows to lock after a given timeout without user activity.</p> <p>This was made with help from random code snippets from around the web.</p> <p>Tested only on windows 7.</p>
