[Box Backup-dev] Hello all - win32 client

[Nick Knight]

Hello Gary,Chris,

Sorry Chris, I am with Gary, the Microsoft devel environment (I use
2003) its toolset is pretty good for debugging, I can't comment on the
inteli-sense in 2005 but I work on 2003.=20

Also in my humble view, Microsoft wrote the compiler, libraries and OS,
so will they not work better together?

In fact I would go as far to say that in my days as an embedded software
engineer, we always wrote for Microsoft ide, then port to the platform
which would have much faster development cycles!

Just for your info, I want to look at

1. Large file support - verify it is all working
2. Bandwidth throttling, this is causing me lots of ongoing issues, I
know Ben's comment in the past is this should be done on the firewall,
which I have done, but there a two issues with this, a) we have users
without a good enough firewall and b) Linux firewalls I have not great
success with
3. Look at the possibility of Shadow Copy, it looks quite tricky so no
promises! But this looks much needed for the likes of backing up
Exchange
4. File change notification from either the NTFS change journal, or
ReadDirectoryChangesW to get notifies about changed files instead of
polling

The problem without shadow copy and trying to backup exchange (or
similar - point 3 shadow copy) is you have to back an intermediary file
using ntbackup - or just pulling out the database with exchange
shutdown, but the problem with this is the id of the file changes so I
believe box treats it as a new file so doesn't even try to diff??

Regards

Nick

Chris,

My main reason for this is the fact that I hate to debug under anything
else - VS2K5 does make the
process easier.
