Winamp Backup Tool v2.0 Beta 6 (Build 1595) available
LINK REMOVED WARNING: Do not use this for regular backups, use latest final version instead!! Quote:
- Backup functionality in general - Restoration functionality in general - The complete GUI in general (buttons, boxes, checkboxes etc) I spent a looooot of time and I hope that i have addressed most of the issues with restoration mode already. So this is how both modes work now: Backup: - you can define a custom folder for your backups, or use the standard default folder - Backup mode will backup all your files to a "WinampBackupTemp' folder in your TEMP dir - it will created a Winamp_Backup-xx-xx-xxxx.zip file from the temp folder in your selected Winamp Backup Dir - "WinampBackupTemp' folder will be deleted once zip compression was done - the tool will write the name of the last used backup file (used for restoration mode) Restoration: - The backup path in restore mode will now accept zip files only - you can select any backup archive via the 'Browse' button - it will automatically add the path of the last generated backup zip archive file for you - The zipped backup archive will be decompressed to a 'WinampRestoreTemp' dir in your TEMP folder on restoration - It will restore the files from the temp folder - 'WinampRestoreTemp' will be automatically deleted, once the job was done. The main advantage of the new zip stuff is (along with smaller file size(s)) is that you can now have multiple backup files and choose between different backups. So i hope you enjoy testing as much as me enjoyed it to code that stuff. ![]() -Chris My Winamp Info Report | My Winamp Backup Log | My WACUP Info Report Own Projects: | Winamp Tray Control Icon Pack v3.5.3 | Winamp Backup Tool v3.6.0 | >> Winamp Info Tool v6.1.0 << | German Translations: | Offizielle Deutsche Winamp Sprachdatei v5.66 | Offizielle Deutsche Winamp Sprachdatei Plus Version 5.666 Useful Winamp Plug-ins: | SNESAmp | 64th Note | NotSo FatSo | Highly Experimental PSF Player | Yar Matey!

Version 2.0 Beta 1 is looking in the wrong place for the IT config file.
Edited quote from BT log (removed user profile name): " Backing up: ''Winamp Info Tool'' Settings No Action. Reason: No file(s) available for copying (C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\Winamp\Winamp_Info_Tool.ini) " I'll test restore mode when I get home from work.

Just released beta 2.
I'm not sure, if I've worked around general NSIS glitches with the button fixes, there is an issue with updating text controls. Nevertheless, the BT code should work fine for these buttons now.

BT beta 2 finds the IT config file and I noticed 2 things that I need info on in order to know what to expect from restore mode.
Empty folders are created in the temp "WinampBackupTemp" folder for files (and folders) I don't have in my configuration. I assume this is a normal part of BT's processing. In the process status report that scrolls by during a backup, it states (near the end) that empty folders are removed before the archive is made. This does not seem to happen, since these empty folders are included in the archive. Will restore mode create empty folders that are not already in my existing Winamp folders? Is the "plugin.ini" file supposed to be in 2 locations? My configuration only has it in one. Will restore mode place it in both locations? The following is quoted from the BT log: " Backing up: 'Plugin.ini' Files File C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\Winamp\Plugins\plugin.ini exists... Verifying: C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\Winamp\Plugins Backing up: C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\Winamp\Plugins\plugin.ini --> D:\AppData\Temp\WinampBackupTemp\Plugins\plugin.ini No Action. Reason: No file(s) available for copying (C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\Plugins\plugin.ini) " Windows 11 Home 64-bit v22H2 desktop - Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker system |

The tool has 2 functions to remove these folders, one is called on backup mode, the second for restoration mode. I wasn't able to re-implement that function yet. Quote:
So you can have 2 files in different locations, both are used for plugin settings. That's one of the tricky things, which you cannot handle with a simple bat file. That is one of the advantages, the tool knows all these dependencies and handles them correctly. If you look at the structure of the backup file, you can see, that there is a 'NonMultiUserFriendly' folder, which holds settings for old plugins, which always saved their settings in the program folder.

If you don't have plugins (which BT can handle) which save their settings in the program folder, then it is normal.

Just released beta 3, which finally brings the integrity check back.
The check is basically the same like in 1.x, though there were some changes: - some people lost their integrity file in the past, because they couldn't see it in Explorer (standard setting in Windows to hide system files) so the file does not get the hidden and system attributes anymore - with the whole zip format, the archives are more portable than before, so loosing the file shouldn't be so easy like it was in the past. If BT cannot extract a valid Winamp_Backup_Integrity.winampbackup file, it will show you a message that the selected archive is no valid backup archive. That is the main check to prevent loading of zip files, which do not contain any backup data. I hope this makes sense. ![]() My Winamp Info Report | My Winamp Backup Log | My WACUP Info Report Own Projects: | Winamp Tray Control Icon Pack v3.5.3 | Winamp Backup Tool v3.6.0 | >> Winamp Info Tool v6.1.0 << | German Translations: | Offizielle Deutsche Winamp Sprachdatei v5.66 | Offizielle Deutsche Winamp Sprachdatei Plus Version 5.666 Useful Winamp Plug-ins: | SNESAmp | 64th Note | NotSo FatSo | Highly Experimental PSF Player | Yar Matey!

And Beta 4 should remove the empty dirs again.
But now I really need a small BT coding break. ![]() My Winamp Info Report | My Winamp Backup Log | My WACUP Info Report Own Projects: | Winamp Tray Control Icon Pack v3.5.3 | Winamp Backup Tool v3.6.0 | >> Winamp Info Tool v6.1.0 << | German Translations: | Offizielle Deutsche Winamp Sprachdatei v5.66 | Offizielle Deutsche Winamp Sprachdatei Plus Version 5.666 Useful Winamp Plug-ins: | SNESAmp | 64th Note | NotSo FatSo | Highly Experimental PSF Player | Yar Matey!

Beta 4's backup and restore modes mostly work very well. You deserve to take a coding break. The items listed below are minor and dealing with them can wait.
1) A partial BT config file is again being written to the users/appdata/winamp folder. 2) Winamp's Pro version's registry keys are backed up, but the restore mode does not seem to restore them. The following quote is from the restore log. " Restoring: Winamp Pro Registration Data No Action. Reason: No Winamp Pro data available (HKLM\Nullsoft\Winamp\regkey) No Action. Reason: No Winamp Pro data available (HKLM\Nullsoft\Winamp\regname) " 3) The backup log is overwritten by the restore log since they share the same name. How about giving them different names?

1. Just saw this here now too when I updated Info Tool. I've fixed the wrong BT ini file in Winamp's config dir already, thanks.
2. Will have a look at the Pro stuff, I probably forgot to update something 3. The file is mainly for debugging only, will think about your suggestion. So thanks for testing it, much appreciated. What about your 3rd party plugins which are not supported?

1) Multiple DSP (dsp_multiple.dll). It's config file, "dsp_multiple_config.ini", is in the users/appdata/winamp folder.
2) Matrix Mixer (out_mixer.dll). It's config file, "out_mixer.ini", is in the users/appdata/winamp folder. 3) Mojo Master Visualizer (vis_MojoMaster.dll). It's config file, "MojoMaster.ini", is in the program plugins folder. The others you need not concern yourself with. DrO will be adding native support for embedding artwork, so thinktink's plug-ins will not be needed going forward. Stereo Tool (a DSP plug-in) does not use any of the Winamp folders for it's config files. I assume the DrO plug-ins I'm using that will not be added to the native code will continue to use winamp.ini. Windows 11 Home 64-bit v22H2 desktop - Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker system |

[Edit] Found it, that wasn't a wrong path for the ini handling, the bug is in the restore mode of the Backup Tool settings file, it's a bit funny, that the issue is related to the backup code, where the Backup tool restores it's own settings. ![]() Will be fixed for next build, thanks.

There's a problem with restoring Online Services Settings and empty subfolders are added to my program and program plugins folders (these folders were not in the orginal configuration, maybe it's result of selecting a complete backup when I don't have some of the items in my configuration). Sorry I keep missing stuff comparing the folder contents to the log entries. I think (hope) these are the last issues. Looks to be a quick fix for Online Services Settings (switched folders). I have not tested the transfer mode. I'm hoping it is essentially the same as restore.
Hint: It would be a little easier to compare if there were separate backup and restore logs. But now I know to save them between runs. ![]() Restore log quote: " Restoring: Online Services Settings No Action.

1) You're backing up "vis_MojoMaster.dll" instead of "MojoMaster.ini". 2) You're using the same instructions for the 'Matrix Mixer' Output Plugin settings as for the 'Multiple DSP' DSP Plugin settings. The 'Multiple DSP' DSP Plugin settings are correct. The Matrix Mixer settings should be looking in the same folder, but for "out_mixer.ini".

1. fixed
2. fixed 3. The folders should be deleted at the end of backup/restoration, is that not the case on your system? Uploaded Build 1595 which fixes 1. and 2. I'm Sorry.

1. confirmed 2. confirmed 3. Maybe I'm using the tool wrong. I don't have the items associated with the folders that are being added to my Winamp program folder locations, but I'm selecting a complete backup which makes the tool search for them. Should I do a custom backup and exclude these items from the backup? The empty folders being added are: C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\Toaster C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\Plugins\avs C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\Plugins\ColorThemes C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\Plugins\Tray_Control C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\Plugins\Enhancer C:\Program Files (x86)\Winamp\Plugins\Enhancer\017 There is something in the handling of these that is different than the other 4 in my previous post.

I see in the restore log when they are created, along with 3 others created in the users/appdata/winamp folders. I also see when 5 empty folders in the users/appdata/winamp folders are removed. 2 that were already there (created by Winamp) and the 3 that were created by the BT. But the 6 empty folders created in the program folders are not removed. I assume the 2 folders created by Winamp in the users/appdata/winamp folders will be created again if needed. But they should not have been removed because they were part of the existing structure. Windows 11 Home 64-bit v22H2 desktop - Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker system |

Hi Koopa,
You may be getting tired of hearing from me and I'm getting tired of testing the BT (although I'm learning a lot). But since you directly asked me to test the latest version, I want to do a thorough job (instead of just testing the parts I have a personal interest in). So I've gone thru things 1 more time (line by line and file by file) and see 1 final thing to ask you about. There are the following 3 folders in my configuration. C:\Users\*\AppData\Roaming\Winamp\Plugins\ombrowser\ C:\Users\*\AppData\Roaming\Winamp\Plugins\ombrowser\cache C:\Users\*\AppData\Roaming\Winamp\Plugins\ombrowser\cache\icons The 1st folder contains 1 file, "omBrowser.ini". It is backed up and restored correctly. The 2nd folder is empty and is ignored by the BT. The 3rd folder is also ignored, but it contains 6 files. One of the files is named "cache.ini" and the other 5 are .png images (1 of which doesn't have the extension attached to it's name). I think these files were left behind by an unofficial online service I had tested and removed a few months ago, but I can't be sure. They may also be from an online service I removed (via a Winamp context menu command) that was once included in the Winamp installation pack. My question is, is it OK for the BT to ignore these 2 subfolders? Windows 11 Home 64-bit v22H2 desktop - Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker system |

I never saw an icons subfolde ron my system and I'm not too sure about the cache folder either.
I'm still working on a solution to prevent writing of these empty folders, I cannot reproduce it on my system, so it will be tricky.

Having a few empty program folders after a restore will not hurt anything. If something needs to be added to the empty folders that were removed from the users/appdata/winamp folders, I'm pretty sure they will be recreated as needed.

I just reviewed the code for the empty folder removal and it makes sense that it doesn't work for the the program dir.
There is only a removal on the $RestoreDir_Path (that's usually the path where the Winamp settings are saved or defined in the restore page text field. So if the Winamp settings are saved in Appdata you have 2 folders, where files can be restored. If you don't use multi settings, you only have all stuff in the program folder (then the tool would do the job). So it currently only does it for the Appdata folder (which should be the most used paths for most Winamp users these days). I'm really not sure, if I should add code to remove empty dirs from Winamp's program dir, this would be the only solution I can think off. *shrugs* My Winamp Info Report | My Winamp Backup Log | My WACUP Info Report Own Projects: | Winamp Tray Control Icon Pack v3.5.3 | Winamp Backup Tool v3.6.0 | >> Winamp Info Tool v6.1.0 << | German Translations: | Offizielle Deutsche Winamp Sprachdatei v5.66 | Offizielle Deutsche Winamp Sprachdatei Plus Version 5.666 Useful Winamp Plug-ins: | SNESAmp | 64th Note | NotSo FatSo | Highly Experimental PSF Player | Yar Matey!

Adding empty folders to the Winamp program folders doesn't cause any problems and some users will not even notice it. Also by doing a custom backup where I only selected what is actually in my configuration prevents their creation when doing the restoration. You could think about changing the processing order so that program folders are not created if nothing is going to be put in them. Looking at the restore log, it appears that the folders are created first before looking for any files to put in them. That said, such a processing change is probably easier said than done. ![]() In any event, you shouldn't worry about it and deem the current update of the BT a success. The important thing is that all selected data files that actually exist in a configuration (essential Winamp files and 3rd party files that the BT is designed to handle) are backed up into a single archive file and restored correctly. ![]() It would be nice if someone using those features (Toaster, AVS, Enhancer, etc.) would also test the BT. I'm now confident it will work correctly for them too. Windows 11 Home 64-bit v22H2 desktop - Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker system |

Hi Koopa,
I was right about the empty Winamp appdata folders being recreated as needed. Those subfolders of the omBrowser folder were also recreated when I used the internal browser. They are associated with online services. As far as I'm concerned, everything is all good. ![]() Windows 11 Home 64-bit v22H2 desktop - Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker system |

I want to suggest adding "former" or something similar instead of just removing the name.
Times change very often, people do something together, then they go their own ways. But special famous works have been done together, and then full credits should be given. I know that also from the music scene, where for some projects artists have worked together, before they continued solo. It's only a suggestion. You will find a way...

Even if I'm a bit surprised, I fully respect your wish.
I've changed the legal copyright and all links. You get full credits for your work in the license file. I just want to point out, that without your great help, the tool wouldn't exist, so thanks for all what you have done for the tool. ----- An updated English example file is now available on my website and on xlat. If someone is testing the RC, please note that the checkbox on finish page which allows you to open the log file is broken. I forgot to update it when I split the log files for backup/restoration. That issue was already fixed for next build and there is no need to report it.

Uploaded 1612 as new final build. The only difference between 1610 and 1612 is an updated PortugueseBR language file.

Hi Koopa,
I finally took the time to read thru this whole thread. I'm sorry about saying I was getting tired of testing in post #369. What I've done is nothing compared to the work you've put into this project over the last 4.5 years. I don't understand why this tool doesn't have a huge following. Maybe the recent article in "gHacks" will help publicize it. I'll sent Martin an email asking him to update his article to discuss the version 2 release. 1 question. Has the idea of adding command line support been dropped? Being able to run unattended regular backups via the Windows Task Scheduler (WTS) would be another big boost to it's usability. For now, I using the WTS to just start the BT weekly (at a time I'm usually at my computer) to remind me to do a backup. Windows 11 Home 64-bit v22H2 desktop - Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker system |

related question: going back to the beginning of this thing, has the idea to do a tiny native plugin whose main job it is, is to remind users to run BT, (or automate it) been dropped forever? I think its the missing piece to wider spread usage.
