This is what modern software development looks like with Claude Code.

👍😊😉 Thank you, Claude, for your endless wisdom and your saint‑like patience with me.
Without you, I’d probably have ended up in a metaphorical trash bin by now.

Robocopy Backup App — v1.5.1.1

A lightweight, modern Windows backup utility built with PowerShell and WinForms, powered by Microsoft's robust Robocopy engine.

What it does:

• Mirrors a source folder to a destination folder using Robocopy (/MIR), keeping the destination in perfect sync with the source

• Runs the backup fully asynchronously — the UI stays responsive even when copying to slow or removable drives (USB sticks, external HDDs)

• Displays live Robocopy output in real time while the backup is running

• Optionally performs a SHA256 checksum verification after each backup to confirm every file was copied correctly (also runs in the background)

• Optionally wipes the destination before copying for a clean-slate backup

• Writes a detailed log file for every backup run, plus a separate checksum report when verification is enabled

Additional features:

• Save and load named backup profiles (source, destination, log folder, options) as .ini files — ideal for managing multiple backup jobs

• Settings and paths are persisted between sessions

• Full multi-language UI — English, German, French, Spanish and Italian, switchable at runtime via the ⚙ button

• Clean dark-themed interface with High-DPI support, works correctly on 4K and scaled displays

• Packages into a standalone .exe via PowerShell Studio — no installation required
