Backup Tool for FF3 Projects

[Rolf Brandt]

Here is a little Backup Tool for FF3 Projects.

This is what BkupFF3 will do:
- Read project info from the FF3 Designer caption.
- Get version info from the project file.
- Create a backup folder. (Set the path in the inifile.)
- Create a Zip file from the project folder using the project folder name
  and version info. (Example: MyApp_v1_4_0_42.zip)
- Save the zip file to the backup folder.

How to use:
- Copy files from attached zip file to a folder of you choice.
- In FF3 open <Tools><Edit User Tools...> and add BkupFF3 as a new tool.
- Open the BkupFF3.ini file and set a folder where you would like to have
  your backups stored. BkupFF3 will create that folder.
- Run BkupFF3 from the FF3 tools menu.

BkupFF3 usese the free 7za command line tool to create the zip files. The original folder structure of the project is preserved.

Hopefully someone might find it useful. The tool is just very basic at present time, but works for me. If you have some usefull enhancements please share. Sourcecode is included.
