I have created a backup script which my organization uses to back up a specific set of data weekly, to a server, by clicking and running the app.

I am always updating it/ improving it and instead of redistributing to the select employees there has to be a way to code in a "check for updates" type of thing.

I was wondering how to make my created app check with that server to see if i am running the latest version.

How do i incorporate a "version" in my app, or would it just be a naming convention thing? and how do i check for updates? Would a button being selected to check updates be preferable? or is there a way to auto detect it?

Please advise!
