Installation instructions

Windows

Extract the zip to some folder.
Launch the extracted application.
If Windows warns you about the unsigned binary, you can click More info -> Run anyway.

Linux

Extract the zip to some folder.
Add the executable flag (chmod 770 iabak-sharp)
Run the application: ./iabak-sharp

On the first run, you will be asked:

Email address (optional, might be useful in the event a restore becomes necessary)
Nickname (optional, used to populate leaderboards, although not implemented yet)
Destination folder for your backups
How much space you want to leave free for other purposes.

Using iabak-sharp

After the initial configuration, you just have to launch the application, with no arguments.

The tool takes care of requesting items to download, auto-updates and re-attempts.

You can close (CTRL+C) the application at any time, your downloads will be resumed when you reopen it. Manually deleting individual items to free up space is also OK, but please re-run iabak-sharp, so that it will notice that some items have been deleted and will notify the server.

Your settings are stored in %AppData%\IaBak-sharp\Configuration.json on Windows, and in $HOME/.config/IaBak-sharp/Configuration.json on Linux (remember to close the application before modifying it).
