- 1. WHAT IS TITAN BACKUP?
-
- What would happen if you lost your business data? Did you ever wonder? What
- about your digital photos, email, important documents, database files or
- favorite electronic books? What would you do? Everyone knows that information
- is priceless, and you can't afford to lose it.
-
- National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) says 80% of businesses that lose
- their important media records are out of business in a short time.
-
- Backup can be considered as insurance for your data. And data can be easily lost:
- your hard drive can suddenly break down, a virus can wipe out your files from the
- computer or your computer/laptop can be stolen. Not to mention a fire,
- water floods, etc...
-
- Only when you have a backup, is it not a tragedy. If you have a recent copy
- of your data, it's a simple matter of restoring... and you are back in business.
- But it's not only for emergencies that it is important to have a backup. If you
- buy a new computer, with a proper backup software you can easily restore all the
- documents that you backed up from your old computer. Having a backup is also important
- if you decide to add a new hard drive to your PC.
-
- Titan Backup is a simple and complete solution for home and small offices, designed
- for secure backups of your important data. It can make automatic backups of your important
- files and documents, virtually on any type of storage media including CD/DVD-RW,
- removable devices, network drives and remote FTP servers.
-
- A well designed user interface and a flexible scheduler makes it easy to organize
- automatic backups. ZIP compression allows you to save disk space.
- Using 256-bit AES strong encryption will ensure full security of your confidential data.
-
-
- 2. FEATURES
-
- - Easy to use wizard-driven interface and simple browsing between the Backup Tasks
-
- With the help of a tree-view file manager, you can see all the files that are
- in a backup task and the new files that will be stored in the next backup
- execution. You can easly review and sort the items (files, registry keys,
- emails, settings) in your task. Titan Backup will start automatically at
- Windows Startup and you can access it quickly from system tray. Creating and
- restoring a backup task is easy and intuitive, one-click away, directly from
- the main window.
-
- - Having many free plug-ins installed by default, Titan Backup facilitates the
- backup of emails and rules for Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Firefox,
- Opera, Thunderbird, Eudora, Windows settings, system registry and more...
-
- Titan Backup lets you easily backup settings for Internet Explorer, Firefox,
- Opera browsers, emails and rules for Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express,
- Thunderbird, Eudora, Windows settings, Address Book. Check our website for
- new plugins that will allow Titan Backup to save settings for more applications.
-
- - Self-extracting backups and standard Zip archives
-
- Titan Backup doesn't use proprietary archive formats like other backup
- programs do. It uses the standard Zip file format. This makes it very easy
- to restore data manually form the backup archive even if Titan Backup is not
- installed. You can choose to create self-extracting archives that will allow
- you to unzip even if you don't have a compression tool. Titan Backup can also
- create backups without compression for faster processing and more redundancy.
- The files and folders structure is always preserved.
-
-
- - 256-bit AES strong encryption
-
- Titan Backup uses military strength 256-bit AES strong encryption to protect
- backed up data privacy. AES encryption algorithm has been adopted by NIST as
- an FIPS-approved (Federal Information Processing Standard) symmetric encryption
- algorithm that should be used by U.S. Government organizations (and others)
- to protect sensitive information.
-
- - Version control, incremental and differential backups
-
- Titan Backup provides a version control mechanism that allows you to backup
- only changed files. You can always view the differencies between the current
- files and the last backup in a special view box that marks them in different
- colors. It can operate in incremental or differential modes to back up only
- new/changed files, or to delete from the current backup the files that don't
- exist anymore in the source location.
-
- - Before / After commands
-
- You can select external programs to run before the backup will start or after
- it ends. Also there is the posibility to shut down the computer automatically
- after the backup task it's done.
-
- - Syncronization tasks
-
- Titan Backup can syncronize a source and destination folders even on different
- types of storage medias (for example a sync between a local folder and a remote
- FTP folder). You can select to mirror or combine them having the source or
- destination folder as reference.
-
- - File filtering (masks)
-
- Users can filter selected files using filename masks, for instance users can
- choose to backup only .doc files in a certain folder or exclude all .exe files
- from another folder.
-
- - Backup to virtually any storage device (including LAN, CD/DVD, removable devices,
- remote FTP servers, etc)
-
- Titan Backup allows you to backup on internal or external hard disks, on local
- area network locations, CD/DVD media, removable media devices ( USB sticks,
- memory sticks, flash memory, floppy disks, ZIP disks, JAZ, etc.),
- remote locations using FTP with upload auto-resume
-
- - Backup Windows Registry
-
- You can include your Windows registry in the backup. Important notice: this
- feature should be used with caution, as restoring the Registry can be very
- dangerous for a novice user and can crash the system.
-
- - Built-in easy-to-use task scheduler
-
- While the Windows' scheduling agent is quite advanced, it can be difficult
- to use. Titan Backup makes it easier for you to schedule your backups from
- basic (such as running a task on a specified day and time) to very advanced
- settings.
-
- - Email notifications regarding the backup task
-
- You can configure Titan Backup to send notification emails on errors, warnings
- or summary reports of a successfully finished backup task. Additional options
- allow you to attach the backup log file and send the email to several addresses.
- Email notification feature uses custom outgoing SMTP server.
-
- - Detailed logs of all backup operations
-
- Titan Backup writes local logs of all backup operations, so you can determine
- what was backed up, start & end times, elapsed times, summary information,
- operation status, possible warnings and errors.

- 3. WHAT'S NEW?
-
-
- IN VERSION 2.1:
-
- Major improvements:
-
- - Open files backup using the Volume Shadow Copy service
- - Individual file compression for Backup Tasks with ZIP compression or AES encryption
- - A new feature for Tasks with scheduler which enables Titan Backup to wake up the computer from Standby/Hibernate before running the Task
- - Firefox 3 support
-
- Minor improvements and tweaks:
-
- - Speed optimizations for Sync Tasks with masks and Sync Tasks with large numbers of files
- - Added some new status messages for time consuming operations at Sync Tasks and Backup Tasks with compression so that
- the application doesn't appear to be hung during Task execution
- - Changed the appearance of the Task Summary window so that it is easier to see if a Task ended successfully, with warnings or with errors
- - Added a new command-line option ("/DECRYPT") to decrypt AES archives when the TBT file is lost
- - Added a new command-line option ("/RUNTASKSILENT") to run Tasks without user consent
- - The user can choose if he wants to start the program with administrative rights or not on Windows Vista (intended for users
- with UAC enabled that don't want to be prompted for consent every time the program starts)
- - Fixed DEP compatibility issues on Windows Vista as there were users that reported the program would not start
- - Fixed a bug for Tasks with Searchable Masks and Inclusion/Exclusion Masks that caused nothing to be backed up
- - Fixed a bug for Sync Tasks with masks that caused long duration for the Task's execution
- - Fixed a bug for Sync Tasks with file comparison set only to Date. Although the CRC wasn't taken into consideration, it was
- calculated for each file, a process which makes the Task's execution to last much longer than it should
- - Fixed a compatibility problem with Windows NT 4 users as the program would not start due to the fact that some Windows APIs
- aren't available on NT. The program works fine now on Windows NT.
