Hi all,
Not sure whether I'm posting in the right forum, so apologies if this isn't in the correct place.
I've had a very strong interest in C#/.NET programming for the past 6 months or so, and have been coding a few 'pet projects' to get my head around the language and framework. I'm also looking to get into a Junior .NET Dev role with work, so I'm doing what I can to learn/code a handful of different WinForm applications, in a bid to soak up as much knowledge as I can in the meantime.
Anyways, I'm going slightly off-topic so here's something I've been working on.
As fellow BitCoiners, I'm sure you're all well aware of a strong recommendation to back up your wallet.dat file for your CryptoCurrency wallet. I've put together a small Windows-based backup utility (approx 1MB in size) that automates backing up/renaming of your wallet.dat file, so it can (for example) be easily copied over to external storage in the event of your original wallet.dat file from being lost (e.g. PC corruption, Windows reinstalls, etc).
I've put the compiled .exe onto GitHub. I'm sure there may be a bit of concern regarding downloading an .exe, but I've attached a screenshot of the application, in case this might alleviate those concerns.

Link to the GitHub Release -

Anyways, I've rambled on enough. If you decide to use it and think it's something worth pursuing, let me know
Peace.
