I have a Visual Basic source code program that was never completed. It will backup data to a USB drive or to a Network drive. The program works but I need some additional features added and it turned into more of a professional looking program.

Currently the program will backup at a fixed time or every xx hours. The interface to add files is not very good and will not accept drag and drop.

Here is a listing of features that need to be added, there are a few more but this is the major ones:

Backup at fixed time every day/week/month(currently only does it on a day by day basis)

Backup every fixed amount of time in hrs/mins(does this currently)

Create a special backup option where the user has to press a button and it will backup the selected contents to the destination folder but split it into [url removed, login to view] chunks in folders

maintaining directory structure and numbered 0001, 0002 etc.

This will allow a drive to be chunked into DVD size folders

Basically it copies a drive into dvd burnable sizes.

Must backup to usb, local drive and over network.

Add a Mirror option which syncs files, this would do a compare between source and destination and copy

changed files from the source to the destination by overwriting

any files that were changed in the source.

On demand Full backup(press a button and source is backed up to destination regardless of archive bit setting)

Add drag and drop functionality for backup section

To backup files, user should be able to drag and drop into

a list or to select a drive, multiple drives, a folder or

multiple folders. Current file addition system is unacceptable.

The interface needs to look a little better, some nicer buttons
