 granny: For less-experienced computer users, there is a nice little tutorial available at TechRepublic, and it is also available for download in pdf format if you are registered on that site.

 Li-ion: A new version, 2.0 is available. Most important (for me) is the new /R switch. This gives you the opportunity to start this back-up tool "minimized". If you make a batch file with the contents like:
C:\Portables\zback\Zback mybackupjob.bal /R
and run it at Windows start-up time, the back-up will run without the user knowing.
The contents of the .bal file looks sometime like:

C:\userdir1\*.* > J:\backup\userdir2 /us
C:\userdir3\*.* > J:\backup\userdir2 /us
C:\userdir3\*.* > J:\backup\userdir3 /us

Great software.
Thanks Davor! [2010-04-13 17:15]

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
