about

"Task: Backup and Restore", or just "Task:BAR" for short, is an easy to use backup and recovery solution built for the typical home user. Now you do not need a tape backup device for making professional backups of your valuable data. With today's low prices for harddisk storage capacity, a cheap, fast and efficient way to do backups is to use an external harddisk connected via USB, USB2 or Firewire. "Task:BAR" was built especially for the demands of this backup method.

Features:

• Select as many folders you want to backup as you like.
• Backup size can be minimized by setting filter, e.g. exclude files with certain extensions from backup.
• Full and incremental backup.
• Backups are ZIP compressed to save space.
• Restore everything or just a partcular file.
• Keep all previous versions of a file, so you can easily restore one particular version of a file.
• Integration into windows explorer, backup and restore files and directories with a simple mouseclick from the context menu.
• Optionally strong encryption using a 256 bit AES key.
• Full support for EFS encrypted files, NTFS security and NTFS alternate data streams
• ...

Niew in this version:

• Exception catched if a backup path does no longer exist.
• Exception catched if archive flag cannot be reset.
• Error message if access to a directory is denied.
• Catalog is saved after each backup.
• A transaction logfile (*.btl) is written with each backup. With this logfile the whole backup can now be undone: Menu "Backup", "Undo backup...".
• If a backup is cancelled it is automatically rolled back, which means that the archive bits of all affected files are restored to their original state.
