Backup Magic 1.5.0

Backup Magic description:

Backup Magic is a simple, fast and compact backup/file copy utility for power users and system admins. It does not have loads of options, but it includes the most required options to get your job done fast and easy. Backup Magic copies new or modified files (you can specify include/exclude masks) from selected folders to another location that can be another folder, network drive, zip disk or whatever writeable device you see in Windows Explorer. Even making backup to a CD-RW disk is not a problem until you have packet-writing software like Adaptec DirectCD running. You can make multiple groups and specify several file filtering options, request log file generation, use incremental or mirror backup mode and set many other options. Additionally you can use variables in destination folder names, so you can automatically generate folder names with current date/time/day (like Backup of Monday) - useful for keeping version history by date. Backup Magic runs on all current Windows versions (9x/Me/2000/NT4/XP).

Backup Magic is useful for both personal users and corporate users in networking environment:

Key features for single/home users:

- Fast and easy to use daily backup solution, just copy modified files
- Use either Mirror or Incremental mode with include/exclude files/folders masks
- Allows variables in destination folder name to create a destination folder name that includes current day/date/time
- Uses simple file copy, does not use any proprietary file formats so you can restore your data without Backup Magic, simply by copying files back to source location

Additional value for corporate users/administrators:

- Contains unique separate lightweight 32-bit console-mode executable that can be used on an Windows NT Server to make automated, scheduled (using AT service) backups on the background. That allows you to copy/backup data from work
