Introduction

Backup tool controls all the backups you have created and backups created automatically. It contains all the features you need to maintain your backups.

Features
Refresh - Updates the list of backups.
Combine - Combines two or more backups to one backup. For example if you removed ten files the program also created ten backups. If you later want to combine those ten backups to just one backup then select the backups and click Combine. There are some restrictions about combining backups, for example you can only combine local backups with each other.
Rename - Renames the selected backup.
Restore - Restore the selected backup or backups.
Custom restore... - Allows you to modify the contents of a registry backup file. You can restore specific entries inside it and also to remove entries from the backup file itself.
Remove - Removes the selected backup or backups.

Additional features
The backup tool also maintains a RestoreAll.bat file which is located in the root of your backup dir. Running it will automatically restore all registry backups from the program's backup directory. By default, the RestoreAll.bat is updated only when you access the backup tool, this policy is due to performance issues. If you wish the file to be updated e.g. every time you close the jv16 PowerTools you can do it very easily by using the "UpdateRestoreAllBat" command. Just create an automatically executed script with the Script Wizard and tell it to execute the command when the program is closed.
