Ma3 Auto Backup

Ma3 Auto Backup

Free!

A plugin to save your show automatically on multiple drives with versioning.

This plugin is the little brother of my Auto Backup for Ma2. It has the same functions, such as:

  • Backup with custom intervals
  • Choose a base show name and a suffix for each city of the tour or anything else
  • Backup versioning
  • Backup to all USB drives
  • Create a final backup at the end of your day
  • Control each functions with commands that you can integrate into your macro

The backup name pattern is “Base Show Name – Suffix vXX” where XX is the version number.

When you start the plugin again after the first launch, it will ask you what you want to do:

Here are the 4 different commands that you can integrate into your macros:

Plugin "Auto Backup" "Start"

Simply ask you the show suffix and start the plugin

Plugin "Auto Backup" "Restart"

Restart the current backup series with same suffix, if the plugin is stopped for some reason

Plugin "Auto Backup" "Final"

Stops the plugin creates a beackup with “final” instead of the backup version

Plugin "Auto Backup" "Stop"

Stops the plugin

These commands are included as macros in the plugin package:

The icing on the cake: when running on onPC the plugin will check if updates are available and notify you if there are any:
