Project Title: EasySave

EasySave is a software project developed to provide a comprehensive backup solution. The project has undergone several iterations, each providing enhanced features and functionalities.

Version 1.0: The first version was a console application developed using .Net Core. It allowed users to create up to 5 backup jobs, with specifications for source directory, target directory, and backup type. It supported both English and French languages and recorded all actions in a daily log file.

Version 1.1: An urgent update was required for a major client, resulting in the creation of version 1.1. This version included an additional feature allowing the user to choose the log file format, either XML or JSON.

Version 2.0: The second major update transitioned the application from a console to a WPF-based user interface. This version allowed unlimited backup jobs, introduced file encryption via an external software called CryptoSoft, and added real-time monitoring of ongoing backup tasks. The application would now cease operation if a certain “business software” was detected to be running on the system.

Version 3.0: In the third major update, the application was restructured to execute backup jobs in parallel. It introduced priority handling for file backups, real-time interaction capabilities for backup jobs, temporary pause if a business software was detected running, and a remote monitoring console developed in WPF and communicated via Sockets. This version also enforced a single-instance limitation, preventing the application from being launched multiple times on the same machine.

Throughout all the versions, the project had an emphasis on careful GIT versioning, adherence to UML diagrams, and maintaining high-quality, non-redundant code.

For future updates, potential areas of focus include network load monitoring and automatic adjustment of data flow to avoid saturating the network.

This project offered an extensive exercise in .NET Core development, GUI design, multi-threading, network programming, and real-time system interactions. The EasySave project showcases advanced software development skills and a dedication to continuous product improvement.
