Active Backup Expert backup utility serves two main
goals:
- make reserve copies (backups) of disk files;
- help to synchronize files on two (or more) PCs.
We recommend this software to you, if you need:
-to store files in compact format;
-to make backup copies of disk files in order to protect them;
-to take some files with you wherever you go;
-to have a record of state of your work.
Active Backup Expert stores backups in standard ZIP or CAB format, so in addition to ABE you can use any compression tool to manage ABE-made backup files.
Active Backup Expert permits selecting backup set files by exact file names, as well as by wildcard masks. Therefore new files, matching one of selected masks, will be included to or excluded from new backups automatically.
Within Active Backup Expert you can store as many backups as you wish. You can browse files stored in any backup, view their contents, extract or delete backed up files from a backup and even open them with default system editor.
Using command line arguments you can order ABE to create a backup without any interaction with you. It lets to use ABE in any automation utility to make scheduled backups. Please, use our Active Task Manager automation utility, if you don't have one.
ABE supports ActiveX Automation, allowing you to control it within your own application.
You can export your backups to a remote server and import it back by using FTP. You can send your backups by e-mail.
We have done (and we will do in next versions) our best to make user interface the most convenient and intuitive.
-Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP;
-At least 2Mb free HD space;
-Mouse or other Windows pointing device.
