- Description:
- ------------
-
- FLEXIBAK Plus, like its predecessor, FLEXIBAK, is a
- flexible, easy to use hard disk backup system that takes a
- logical, simple and unique approach to the backup problem. With
- a conventional backup system, you are required to take a full
- backup approximately once a week and do daily incremental backups
- which are placed on separate disks. Should you need to restore
- from the backup, you must first restore the full backup and then
- each of the incremental backups up to the last backup taken. With
- FLEXIBAK Plus, all this is different as the concept of full
- backups and incremental backups is removed. Instead, you only
- need to take a full backup once and then all subsequent backups
- are placed on the same backup disks, giving some long term speed
- increases, simpler file restoration and an improved backup
- management capability.
-
- Here are some of the more outstanding features provided by
- FLEXIBAK Plus:
-
- Selective backups allow you to specify, both globally and
- by directory, which file groups should be included in, or
- excluded from, the backup, potentially dramatically
- reducing the number of backup disks required.
-
- Incremental backups are placed on the same disks as the
- full backup, so you only ever need to take a full backup
- once.
-
- File management system means that FLEXIBAK Plus keeps track
- of what has been backed up, and informs you if any files
- have gone missing from your hard disk since the last
- backup. This allows you to recover accidentally deleted
- files.
-
- File compression is included in the system as is the
- capability to handle up to 20 hard disk drives.
-
- Alarm system warns you on booting your computer that you
- have forgotten to take a backup for a specified number of
- days.
