GRBack (by GRSoftware) is a full functional Shareware Windows NT/98/95
backup program that can help you maintain your vital computer data. It
recreate your source directory tree into the destination drive and for
every directory it create a PKZIP 2.0 compatible archive with long file
name support. You can do a full, incremental or differential backup of
your data. You can synchronize your backup archive with your source
files and directories. You can schedule your backup with the aid of the
Microsoft System Agent (SAGE) under Windows 98/95 or using the Microsoft
AT utility under Windows NT. Your backup is fully configurable with
simple text files placed into your source directories.
The program comes with a setup program that allows you to install,
evaluate and completely remove the package leaving your system clean.
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Follows tha major GRBack features:
* Support for network and removable drives (floppy, Iomega ZIP/JAZ and
other similar ).
* Can spawn on multiple removable media.
* Fully customizable: include, exclude files, skip directories.
* Fully Microsoft System Agent (SAGE) aware (Windows 95 Plus!).
* Fully support VFAT long file names.
* Backup modes are: Full, Incremental and Differential.
* Allows you to copy files instead of compress them.
* Recreate exactly your source directory structure so that you can easily
navigate into the backup archives.
* Create PKZIP 2.0 compatible archives with long file names.
* Synchronize you backup archives with your source files/directories.
* Quick and background run.
* All backup activities are notified into a detailed log file.
* Easy registration with emailed personal key file.
What's New
~~~~~~~~~~~
This version is a major update to GRBack version 1.90. This program will
be a Lite version in the future when the GRBack Professional version
(3.xx) will be released. This program will be maintained for all the
users that do not need the professional options but want a more simple
backup program. Follows the list of the news:
* added an option to exclude files whose date is before a specified date
into the "Advanced Options" dialog. This option takes priority over
all other options for the selection of the files to backup.
* added a new dialog box when the disk full condition is reached. This
new dialog allows a better handle of the change of the destination
disk.
* added an option to synchronize the content of the backup archive with
the source. When you delete a source file and you want to
automatically delete the same file from the backup archive you can
now enable this option.
* added a test to verify if the destination disk is ready. Added a
dialog box to ask for a disk before to start instead of quit the
program.
* added the copy of the directories attributes on the destination disk.
* added a new backup mode: differential. This mode is based upon the
archive attribute bit and stores all the files that have the archive
attribute bit on.
* improvement: if the destination disk does not support the long file
names GRBack now creates the destination directories using the alias
short name. Also it automatically forces the creation of the
$backup.dir files and store inside them the long file name and the
alias file name so that restoring with the right name will be more
easy.
* improvement: more diagnostic messages on the log file.
* fixed a bug handling filenames with special characters like "àùè" in
the name.
* fixed a bug when compression is disabled and the source files are only
copied.
* fixed a bug for the option "Include System/Hidden Files" that was not
correctly saved/restored.
* fixed a bug adding a task into the windows 95 SAGE task list.
* fixed a bug if the specified compressor temporary path end with the
characters '\' or '/'.
* fixed a date/time bug inside the $backup.dir files.
* fixed the "Scan Drives" button so that it does no more add the floppy
drives into the job list.
* moved the "Archive mode" group box from the "Zip Compressor" dialog to
the "Backup" dialog renaming it as "Backup method".
* moved the option "clear the source archive attribute" from the
"Advanced Options" dialog to the "Backup" dialog.
* moved the option "Include System/Hidden Files" from the "Zip
Compressor" dialog to the "Advanced Options" dialog.
* while handling the disk full condition is now possible to clean up the
destination disk before to continue the backup.
The new backup methods behave as follows:
* Full: clear any previous archive or file and recreate the new backup.
* Update (Incremental): updates the backup archives copying any new or
modified file.
* Archive bit logic(Differential): update the backup archive
if the source file has the archive attribute bit on despite of its
date.
Evolution
~~~~~~~~~~
GRSoftware is working on a new Professional version of the program whose
name is GRBackPro. GRBack Professional edition is a big enhancement of
GRBack. The program is designed with a completely new user interface and
has the many options that a professional user usually ask for. The
program will do all what GRBack do with the following improvements:
* a more complete and flexible user interface.
* the possibility to select a single folder or even a single file to
backup.
* an integrated restore facility.
* an integrated scheduler.
* a report dialog to easy the view and extract of your backup activities.
* live in the background and is activable from your tray icon bar.
