Functions Overview
- With BackupChanges one can specify files that need to be copied
into archive. Typically, it is enough to specify the source folder
and nothing else. There are also many options to fine-tune the
backup, for instance, user can specify the include and exclude file
mask. Resulted files will be packed into archive, so there is also
an option to specify how to keep files in archive, e.g. using
relative path or absolute path.
- As the program focuses on changed and new files niche, there is
a possibility to specify the time period for which changed files
should be copied to archive. The easiest way is to use some
predefined intervals, for instance for last 3 days. If necessary,
the precise date and time interval can be specified. The predefined
choices include minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years.
- Resulted file archive is a zip file, which can be managed with
any popular archiving software or server-based file manager. The
name of resulted file can be generated automatically using the
source folder name and date/time stamp. As for destination
directory user have an opportunity to add more than one record.
This is useful, if the changed files should be sent to flash-drive
for emergency backup, to hard drive for long-term backup and a copy
to the desktop, for future uploading online or sending to
co-worker.
- All these features might sound complicated to use every day, so
there is one extremely useful feature. Once user fine tuned the
backup project as needed, the batch file can be generated. Next
time the user will need a backup, he or she will simply run the
batch file. All necessary parameters will be passed to the program
automatically. In this way managing new or changed files is as easy
as one click.
