Just so happens that I am partially finished a gui file backup app. I have many backup CDs and I wanted to consolidate them. You know, all image files in one dir, all install files in another dir, etc. My app scans the input dir tree and displays all file extensions that it finds. You can then remove any extensions that you don't want backed-up, and you can toggle to exclude the listed extensions. It also calculates min/max file sizes that you can adjust.

Then the next page allows you to adjust the sub-dir depth with a slider, which displays the total number of files and total amount of memory they will take, for each sub-dir depth. You can also choose to enable versioning, whether or not to put all files into one dir or create a dir for each file type (extension), whether or not to actually backup the files, to write all input pathnames and/or output pathnames to a file. Of course, it won't backup a dir tree as a copy, it can only flatten a dir tree, so if you backup a development source dir, all files will get put into the same dir and that wouldn't be good.

I've also used py2exe to make it a drag-n-drop install. What do you think?

I am a bot or trolling.  Bots and bot detectors were the first forms
of internet life, you know.
