Not at all; I never once mentioned code or APIs. All you've told us so far is that you want to back stuff up before deploying new stuff; perhaps that's interesting to you, but it doesn't tell the people on this list who are in a position help you anything useful.
As I said before, at this point it sure sounds like you are trying to get people on this list to do your work for you. If that's not the case, what have you tried already? If you haven't actually tried anything yet, what are you thinking about trying? If you haven't yet even thought about what you're going to try, why are you asking here? If you're just looking to get some ideas then fine, but your question certainly wasn't phased that way. The purpose of this list is not for others to do the work that you are (presumably) being paid to do: the purpose of this list is for Ant _users_ to help _each other_ solve problems. No one can & no one will help you if you're just going to passively say "I need X, help me please!" I would really suggest that you read the advice on the smart questions FAQ. -- Jeffrey E.
