- Author: Pierce Business Systems
- Version Number: 2.10.0002
- Revision Date: October 9, 2001
- Size: 2,679 KB
- License: Freeware
- Cost: Free
- Requirements: Windows 98 (will work on 95, NT4, and 2000)
- Description: Backing up files, like checking for computer
viruses is something that every personal computer owner
should routinely perform, but often neglect until it is too
late. Every computer should have an automated backup system
that is easy to use and yet they do not. Windows ships with
the Microsoft backup program. It has a nice interface,
but is not widely used for one primary reason: it cannot be
scheduled nor can command line parameters be passed in
from a scheduling agent.
TaskZip is a system agent that will automatically archive
specified files and folders into a single zip file (pkzip
compatible format). You can backup across a network, from
computer to computer, or even to a zip or jaz drive.
You can create and schedule an unlimited number of backup
jobs, each containing as many folders or files as you
want. TaskZip has a simple, step-by-step wizard to guide
you through selecting files, backup locations, and backup
scheduling. The program's scheduler can run backups at any
time, and you can set recurring schedules for running
daily, weekly, or monthly backups. For each backup job,
you can even maintain up to 99 older backup copies of each
zip archive file.
You can password protect the zip file archives. When data
loss occurs, you can highlight a backup job and with the
click of a button, bring up your default windows zip shell
(Winzip, Freezip, etc.) to restore the corrupt files. You
can also forego compression and just backup files and folders
directly.

A number of users requested the source code, so I made
it available online. Please email us with any useful changes
you make and feel others might want for inclusion in future
releases of TaskZip.
