DeskTop Backup (DTB) has just been updated with Automated 
backups and redundacy storage.

DeskTop Backup is a simple tool that works with InfoZip's 
Zip (v2.2) and Unzipsfx to build a self-extracting zipfile 
containing your essential desktop and other configuration 
information. There is no magic or slight of hand concerning 
it's use and one can do the same work from the command line 
along with the InfoZip utilitities. DeskTop Backup merely 
makes it a bit more automated and will also help you decide 
what files may be important to archive.

DTB will also help find and list important files on your 
drive so you are able to do a more detailed backup than the 
standard OS/2 system desktop archive will give you.

You may add to the "suggested" file listings or do a 
separate setup of your own important files and directories 
as well. Such as? Well... maybe you want to do an archive 
of business correspondance or maybe back up a development 
directory every so often. You can do them on demand or 
automatically as well.

Saving several distinctive backup setups to be performed on 
demand or automatically is easily handled by DTB. You can 
also scan the chosen drive for existence of suggested files 
whenever you feel an update of the information is needed. 
(new files important to your desktop may have appeared 
since the last setup)

As usual, we try to stay away from cryptic scripts etc so 
"AutoStart" backups are simple point and click setups that 
update your situation automatically with just a mouse 
click. You can also save multiple archive setups and recall 
them at will as well as setting the scheduler to run 
automatically at startup to archive by "days between 
archives" or "day of the week".
