Autosave & Autobackup

By: Yirkha

Allows periodic automatic saving of configuration and other data in foobar2000 and keeping backup copies of such data.

The save operation itself does the same as (hidden) command "File > Save Configuration", that means it saves configuration (foobar2000.cfg), Media library database (database.*), playlists and any additional data managed by other components (for example theme.fth or PlaybackStatistics.dat).

A little time after startup and each time after configuration is autosaved, a backup of the changed files is also created, as a ZIP archive.

See the discussion thread for more information like configuration options and implementation details.
