Abstract

A simple utility for scheduled backup. It scans for changes in specified source folder and if a change is found, a backup is created. RAR can be used (automatically invoked by Backup) to compress the backup to a single file.

It is perfectly suited for automated personal backup using Windows Task Scheduler. Simply enter the path to the program and its arguments in the Task properties, set the backup frequency and it's all done.
