PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

No matter how good the intentions,  inevitably when disaster strikes a user has NO real up to date backup of the files that were lost.

The mini-Backup Master (v1.0) was initially created to answer the problem of LAN users NOT backing up their database files.  The mini-Backup Master resided on a computer on the LAN with READ rights to All of the Directories where the Files needing to be Backed up were kept.  The computer would be left on and once a day the mini-Backup Master would backup all of the Selected Files and Directory Masks.  A Full Week of Backups was Kept On Hand. Therefore, a user could restore from a backup from any point in the last week.

In v2.0 for Windows 95/NT, the mini-Backup Master has become a backup dynamo.  Fully Compressed Backups or Straight Backup Copies of Files and Directory Masks are housed in Seven Sub-directories (\SUNDAY, \MONDAY, \TUESDAY, \WEDNESDAY, \THURSDAY, \FRIDAY, \SATURDAY). Depending on the Day of Backup,  the Backup files are stored in these sub-directories. Compressed Backups are stored in the Familiar ZIP Format.  Restores from any one of the Seven Archives is a Click Away.  The mini-Backup Master does not have to reside on an Administrator’s Machine,  any user that wants to backup his/her files can benefit from this application.  Moreover, the mini-Backup Master does not have to run continuously,  backups can be run on the Selected Files and Directory Masks at the Click of a Button.

Version 3.0, made only slightly different functional changes.  The application was redesigned “under the covers” to become much more efficient.
