In this section, you will find free backup programs that will help you
backup your important files, documents and folders. Contact me if you
are aware of any similar free resources that I have not listed below, or
if you find dead or expired links.
Briefcase
Plus
Publisher: Rekenwonder
File size: 1030 KB
Description: A utility for backing up and synchronizing collections of files on two different computers, just like the Windows Briefcase. The
contents of the briefcase are compressed, so you can store up to 5 times as much data. The briefcase remembers the last time it was updated, so
only modified files will be loaded. (For Windows)
Comparator
Freeware ---- go to
download page
Publisher: Softbyte Labs
File Size: 520 KB
Description: An alternative to the Microsoft® Briefcase. Install this freeware program everywhere you go to keep shared files in sync. Finally,
don't neglect full backup routines, but do make use of Comparator to quickly update a small backup set before you get down to some serious work.
Task Zip
Publisher: Pierce Business Systems
File Size: 2678 KB
Description: TaskZip is a system agent that will automatically
archive specified files and folders into a single zip file (pkzip
compatible format). You can backup across a network, from computer to
computer, or even to a zip or jaz drive (although spanning disks is not
yet supported). You can create and schedule an unlimited number of backup
jobs, each containing as many folders or files as you want.
Windows 98 works with no problems. Win 95 and NT4+ can have versioning problems.
