Peters Backup
|
Program for backing up your important data files on to diskette, zip drive, fixed disk or CD/RW. PPeter's Backup solves problems that the backup programs that come with operating systems as well as commercial backup programs do not address.
1. Full and incremental backups
2. Restore a file to any previous version
3. Automatically keeps track of where every version of each file is stored
4. Keep track of deleted files so that files that have been removed on purpose are not restored. Note it is always possible to override the default behaviour and restore files that have been deleted.
5. Supports fixed or removable disks
6. Does not use archive attributes. You can have multiple sets of backups going at the same time of the same files and they will each be consistent
7. Use wild-cards and multiple options allowing selective backups of files and exclusion of temporary and work files
8. Messages and screens are in English, Dutch, German and Polish. If anybody is willing to translate into another language some 200 messages, please contact me, or use the "translate this application" option on the help menu.
9. Back up can be encrypted to ensure privacy of your data.
You can back up your data files on to disk, diskette, CD or DVD. Peter's backup will keep track of file versions and disks. You can restore any file to any previous version without having to know on which disk or in which backup set it is located. You can create unlimited incremental backups. This saves time, backups and restores are very fast.
This program is intended for backing up your important documents. I do not recommend backing up an entire disk. Files that are in use may not be backed up and files that are being updated while the backup is running will not be backed up correctly. Operating system files should not be backed up with this program.
Backup Options
1. Individual Files.
2. Multiple files in a directory with a wildcard specification.
3. Entire directory structures.
4. Files in a directory structure matching one or more wildcard specifications.
5. Exclusion of files matching wildcard specifications.
6. Exclusion of directories within a directory structure.
7. Scheduled backups or backups from the command line can be done with a command line switch.
Restore Options
1. A full restore will get back all of the files that were in place at the last incremental backup.
2. You can select individual files to restore and select any individual date version of a file.
3. In any restore operation you can restore to the original or a different location.
4. You can choose whether to overwrite existing files or only overwrite older files.
