Active Backup Expert

An easily mastered tool maintains backups of files in zip or cab format on hard and removable disks (CD, DVD, Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, Zip drives etc.), in a LAN or WAN. A Wizard guides you through the steps of the backup-set creation: supplying the paths and filters for the included and excluded files, specifying the storage folder and compressing ratio, selecting the incremental or differential backup method. Enabling file inclusion on the date-time basis, you will back up the new and changed files only. Having configured the backup-set only once, you are free to create as many backup copies as you wish. Just press the Backup button or click the shortcut on the Desktop. The Command-line support provides you with the ability to get unattended backups by using your favorite Automation utility. Once the backup is created, you can easily restore the files stored within it, view or edit their content. The import/export features are useful to synchronize the folders on different PCs and to span the large backups across the multiple disks. Other features include creating self-extracting .zip files and the support for ActiveX automation. The ample documentation is also available.
