Retyno Backup

Retyno Backup is a VS Code extension that helps you create automated backups of selected workspace files and folders.

Features

• Backup view (Explorer sidebar) to select files/folders from your workspace
• Preserve structure or Files-only (flat) backup layout
• ZIP mode (single .zip file) or Raw folder backups
• Ignore rules (auto-exclude .git, .sfdx, node_modules, .vscode) + configurable patterns
• Incremental backups (only copies files changed since the last backup)
• Run now and Schedule daily backups (schedule runs while VS Code is open)

How to use

1. Open a folder/workspace in VS Code.
2. In Explorer, open Backup view.
3. Click Configure Selection and select files/folders.
4. Click Run backup now.

Change layout / ZIP mode

Use the icons in the Backup view header:

• Layout toggle: preserve structure vs files-only (flat)
• ZIP toggle: enable/disable ZIP backups

Settings

Retyno Backup contributes these settings:

• backup.rootFolder
  Root folder to show in the selector. Leave empty to show the entire workspace.

• backup.baseDir
  Backup destination parent folder. If empty, the extension will ask on first run.

• backup.zipEnabled
  When true, creates a single zip file <workspace>_<timestamp>.zip.

• backup.ignore
  Glob patterns to exclude from backup.

• backup.incremental
  When true, only copies files changed since the last backup.

Notes

• Scheduled backups run only while VS Code is open.
• ZIP creation uses system tools:
  • macOS/Linux: zip if available
  • Windows: PowerShell Compress-Archive
