Hi Chris,=0A=0AThanks for the response.=0AI can't help you develop boxi as =
my c++ knowlidge is terrible.=0AHowever I could try compiling the latest ve=
rsion and test it.=0AThe first years of my IT carreer my job was to test so=
ftware, later I was responsible for=A0backing up=A0large amounts of data on=
=A0lots of servers.=0AIn that way I can help you improve the boxi backup cl=
ient.=0A=0AIs this the latest version then?=0Ahttp://prdownloads.sourceforg=
e.net/boxi/boxi-0.1.0.tar.gz=A0=A0=0A=0AThe documentation also talks about =
the boxbackup deamon(on the client).=0AThis ofcourse is the way it is run o=
n linux, on windows it should be a service.=0AI can not find anything on th=
at in de documentation.=0ASo the only way to use it is to schedule it using=
the scheduler in windows, is that correct?=0A=0ARgds Edo=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A=

ompatible with the latest Box Backup servers, but it's not well tested and =
has some known bugs. Nobody has stepped forward to help me to develop Boxi,=
which I think is a shame.=0A=0A> I have downlaoded the latest windows clie=
nt and found a file "installer.iss". This is normaly used for automatic ins=

te. Anyone an idea how this should be used with Boxbackup?=0A=0AI think it =
was developed for Box Backup 0.09 (not Boxi) and probably hasn't been used =
for years. There is also an NSIS installer which is much more recent and be=
tter supported, as it doesn't require proprietary tools to build. I think i=
f you build the client on Windows, it should create an NSIS installer file =
which you can open in NSIS and use to create an executable installer.=0A=0A=
