Overview:
Created in 2013 during work in ATS S.A in small team (3 devs, 2 QA and UIX).
Backup is project for automatic data synchronization between smartphone and Argo computer. It is a kind of personal cloud, for storing all data from personal phone and tablet and restoring it in case of any emergency. It gives opportunity to transfer all files for chosen categories or single files to Argo computer in local Wifi network or by USB cabel. Therefore data is not transferred through public internet and it is safe.
Whole project consists of 3 subprojects:
- Backup Client - project for managing backup contents, start synchronization, scanning for servers, performing data recoveryy, settings etc

Server part application for Argo Computer only. Client is for all Android devices, but it is distributed only with Argo Computer, because it is worthless without it.
Time spent for development:
- few months
