How do you manage project backup?

[holly7787]

Hello everyone! We are going to change NAS in our company and i'm checking for a new way to store our project.

In Siemens PLC there is the possibility to "archieve" and "retrieve" project, this is very useful for backup and for space consumption because it will create a unique zip that keep all the project file.

In CVI there isn't this possibility, have anyone managed it in some way?

Also it will be nice to have SVN or GIT that the NAS support natively, it's a Synlogy.

now when i save the project i copy all the directory, and i'm excluding cvibuild folder and .cdb file, anybody do the same?

Just use a svn/git server on a DIFFERENT machine than the one where you are saving your projects. Backup both of them. Remotely.

How did you implemented svn/git in CVI?

[gdargaud]

Externally, using TortoiseSVN/TortoiseGit.

The Source Code Control provided by CVI is difficult to configure and is being deprecated, so don't bother.

Agreed: just do it externally. I have been pretty happy with GitKraken.
