Where are my backups?

From time to time we have customers who want to automate the download of backups.

We have an API that will expose the backup data (file locations, etc…) which will enable you to easilly automate this, and store the backups yourself.

The api is accessable by doing a HTTP GET to:

http://[YOUR_ACCOUNT].codespaces.com/api/backups.xml

or

http://[YOUR_ACCOUNT].codespaces.com/api/backups.json

As you can see the API will expose the backup data in XML or JSON format.

 

NOTE: you will need to pass your login credentials with the request.

Subversion for Visual Studio Developers

Subversion for Visual Studio Developers with AnkhSVN

Accessing Subversion repositories from Visual Studio is really easy with AnkhSVN (http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/). In this article I will illustrate just how easy it is to connect to a project in a Subversion repository and how to create a brand new project and add it to a Subversion Repository.

For this artical I’m using Visual Studio 2010 Professional however, the instructions are largely the same for all versions above 2003, I’m sure you will work it out ;-)

Installing AnkhSVN
Visit http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/ and download the latest version of AnkhSVN, for this article I have downloaded version 2.1 but the instructions will remain the same for a while.

subversion-for-visual-studio-developers

Most Visual Studio Developers will be comfortable using Either VSS (Visual Source Safe) or TFS (Team Foundation Server) but as Subversion continues to sement its position as the most popular version control system, more and more Microsoft developers are starting to look at Subversion.

More Disk space all round.

As of today we have Doubled the disk space on all our plans with the exception of the Mini plan which now has 4x the amount of disk space.

 

This is a reflection on the maturity of our infrastructure that we can now provide more resources to you at no extra cost, while maintaining our commitment to security and uptime.

 

The plans now look like this :

 

  • Mini : 1GB
  • MicroISV : 2GB
  • Small Team : 4GB
  • Large Team : 6GB
  • Enterprise : 20GB

 

Enjoy the extra space!

Q&A Site for CodeSpaces.com

We have set up a simple Questions and Answers site that will (ultimately) replace for Code Spaces forums.

 

Its inspired by StackOverflow and is powered by the wonderful open source platform Shapado (http://gitorious.org/shapado).

 

Why?

We are trying to become more vocal and active in the development community and we think a site like this will not only serve to help our customers but also to reach out to the development community at large, especially Git and Subversion users.

 

I hope you will sign up and help us make this a great resource.

Git Support!

Without any fireworks or drum rolls we rolled out our Git Support last night, and the early response has been amazing.

 

We are going to be creating some content over the coming days and weeks to provide as mush documentation and help for Git (and Code Spaces), but in the mean time please contact us if you have any questions?

 

As always all Plans have unlimited Git Repositories so “fill your boots”

You look different… Have you had work done?

Hey Guys!

Its been an amazingly busy few weeks here and while things are not showing any signs of slowing down, I thought id catch 5 minutes (and my breath) to tell you what’s been going on and what’s coming up next.

2 Weekends ago! (25th July 2010)

We did a major UI update which included an upgrade from ExtJS 1.1 to ExtJS 3.2.1 and while we didn’t add any new features we got a whole lot for FREE. (I will talk about these in a minute).
