DTB now searches the chosen drive for ALL Desktops when using the "Get suggested" button to get file listings. We have also rearranged the controls in the "AutoStart" settings page and have added the ability to add files by filter. Wildcards are supported when searching by filter. Examples: C:\TextFiles\*.TXT or C:\T*.E?E /S ABOUT DTB DeskTop Backup is a simple tool that works with InfoZip's Zip 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". DeskTop Backup is only $15 and is available online at BMT Micro: http://www.bmtmicro.com/ More information and downloads are available at: http://www.pillarsoft.net/ ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ -------------------------------------------------------
