What is SmugBackup ?
A new backup tool for Smugmug, the greatest and bestest online photo management website..
SmugBackup allows you to selectively backup albums from your Smugmug account. Some features are:
Extremely straightforward to use. No help required !
Download private albums
Presents a sorted view of all your albums, sorted by Category and Albums.
Automatically splits images into directories based on category and album name.
Progress monitoring of current file download as well as current album
Remembers username and download directory across different sessions.
Cancel downloads in the middle.
SSL support for encrypted login.
No .NET requirements
SmugBackup 0.1 is the initial release (March 2007). Any feedback is invited. The purpose is to keep things simple. It was made because I did not find any simple "frustration-free" backup tool. Existing tools (as of Mar 2007) crashed (on me) or did not function correctly.
A note regarding SSL support
SmugBackup does allow non-SSL downloads, in case you have problems with the SSL DLLs. There is an option on the main interface to disable SSL. This is however not recommended as your password can be snooped by someone desiring to do so.
Downloads
Download Zip file (contains standalone exe file for Windows platform. Tested on XP till now). (~450 KB)
This exe file requires additional OpenSSL files to function correctly. They can be downloaded from Intelicom website. Please uncompress the zip file and place the DLLs in the same directory as SmugBackup exe file. (~ 700 KB)
For backup, the DLL zip is also provided here.
