WHAT'S NEW?

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".
