Description:
------------
FLEXIBAK Plus, like its predecessor, FLEXIBAK, is a
flexible, easy to use hard disk backup system that takes a
logical, simple and unique approach to the backup problem. With
a conventional backup system, you are required to take a full
backup approximately once a week and do daily incremental backups
which are placed on separate disks. Should you need to restore
from the backup, you must first restore the full backup and then
each of the incremental backups up to the last backup taken. With
FLEXIBAK Plus, all this is different as the concept of full
backups and incremental backups is removed. Instead, you only
need to take a full backup once and then all subsequent backups
are placed on the same backup disks, giving some long term speed
increases, simpler file restoration and an improved backup
management capability.
Here are some of the more outstanding features provided by
FLEXIBAK Plus:
Selective backups allow you to specify, both globally and
by directory, which file groups should be included in, or
excluded from, the backup, potentially dramatically
reducing the number of backup disks required.
Incremental backups are placed on the same disks as the
full backup, so you only ever need to take a full backup
once.
File management system means that FLEXIBAK Plus keeps track
of what has been backed up, and informs you if any files
have gone missing from your hard disk since the last
backup. This allows you to recover accidentally deleted
files.
File compression is included in the system as is the
capability to handle up to 20 hard disk drives.
Alarm system warns you on booting your computer that you
have forgotten to take a backup for a specified number of
days.
