Version 1.2 March 2013
by Ignatz and Codeslinger

This utility backs up and restores your projects for you, by storing them as images in your Dropbox folder.
Its features are as follows:
1. backs up up behind the scenes every time you change the version number
2. tells you how long it is since the last backup
3. restores your backup into a new project, tabs and all

INSTALLING IT
Copy this project to your Codea, named as Backup

BACKING UP

Include a line like this in your function setup()
b=Backup("MyProject Ver 100") -- NB no full stops or other "illegal" filename chars!

Also create a dependency to the Backup project 
(click the + at upper right of screen, find Backup on the project list, and press it)

The utility will only back up when the string in brackets changes. It will create a new image with that name
in your Dropbox folder (you may need to sync to see it). The reason for not backing up every time you run, is that when you are developing, you will try a lot of stuff, and you may get into a mess. You will then want to go back to your last stable version. So the idea is that whenever you are at a checkpoint, make a new version name.

NB each time you run, the utility will tell you how long it is since you last backed up. You can turn this off by adding a second parameter, false, when calling Backup.

RESTORING

Create a new project to hold your restored project, and put this in function setup()
img=readImage("Dropbox:AAA")
r=Restore(img)

Now change the image name to the Dropbox file you want to restore

BEFORE YOU RUN, create a dependency to the Backup project 
(click the + at upper right of screen, find Backup on the project list, and press it)

Now run, and when it's done, go back to the code and it should all be there.
