Recent statement
--- I am developing jaBuT 32 bit only because to compile it in 64 bit too it would be cost a bunch of money to get a proper developer licence ---

jaBuT Backup is now 32 bit and 64 bit due to some licence changes.

FireRabbit on 2020-12-08 20:21

When I first found jaBuT I liked it and thought it was working, until I realized that it stops working every time you sleep/wake your computer unless you manually restart it. unfortunately I realized that after I needed to recover files I thought it was baking up.

I reported this to the developer to learn that jaBuT is made this way by design. No backup program I have ever used [besides this one] is made to stop working when you sleep your computer, and I was not expecting that behavior at all.

For me I have moved to Backup4Sure and am quite happy with it, and unlike jaBuT it has actually saved my files when I needed it to save my files.

That said I still think jaBuT is a decent program for the right tasks, though I would be very hesitant to ever trust it again. It's always hard to trust again after you've been burned, especially when you've found something that works for you.

From the dev:

"This sounds like windows marked the dll files as untrusted.

Try going to the properties dialog of each file (right-click -> properties) and clicking the unblock button."

Someone else on the forum said that using 7-Zip to extract the ZIP worked for them.

iamjamieq on 2023-04-05 14:24

This is absolutely the best sync app available. I have tried every other one, and not a single other sync app on this website can properly two-way sync two folders. SyncFolders is the only one that can handle files/subfolders deleted in the target folder where all others see those deleted files as missing and copy them from the source folder, which is not the desired behavior.

The ONLY thing that stinks is that the background sync no longer hides the popup in the system tray anymore. It used to sync silently, but when I switched jobs and therefore computers, I now can't get it to sync silently. It shows the system tray popup at the start and end of every sync. Otherwise SyncFolders is absolutely perfect.

what you should know:
Cleanup is optional - it is very close related to an incremental backup.
Using this you have to select the same Target Directory as before to backup only changed files and to delete files on the backup that have been deleted on the original file system as well (the latter one is the actual Cleanup).

Hope it helps ;)

romulous on 2015-01-11 06:52

It's a crying shame that you can only backup folders with this tool, and not individual files within those folders (yes, I know you can set filters, but unless you know in advance what files you want from each folder, this is not practical to use).

PortableApps.com AppCompactor v3.7

  • 1MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 20 Jun 2022
  • Suggested by Checker

PortableApps.com AppCompactor allows you to compress whole directories including applications, file libraries and zip files. The program is a powerful compression tool that unites 7-Zip and UPX inside a user-friendly wizard. For applications, this saves disk space and increases performance when running from a slow media (like flash drives). For archives, this will recompress DLL, EXE, ZIP, JAR, IRC, PYD and BIN files to their maximum compression settings, as well as an option to decompress an app's binary files that were previously compressed with UPX.

All files are tested using UPX's test feature after compressing. Files smaller than 4K are automatically skipped as compressing will not save space on the drive. The standard Microsoft Visual C runtimes are skipped to prevent antivirus false-positives. Advanced configuration can be done with apps in PortableApps.com Format.

Note: As UPX will alter the EXEs and DLLs (reversible using the Decompress option in the AppCompactor) and some apps may have issues with Zip or Jar files compressed further, users should backup software and test it after processing.

tommyD: Disadvantages are that it breaks some programs, and it may be slightly more CPU-intensive to decompress libraries and executables on the fly.

@Cornflower, I`ve tried that but when you save in MemPad it doesn`t update the dropbox file, you have to export it again. No good.

NunoEFSilva on 2021-12-19 06:26

This is another hidden gem. Does it take notes in a structured way? Does it encrypt its contents? Yes, but that is just the beginning... One may keep all its favorites and use MemPad as a launcher of sites (http:something.dom), applications (file:..\ProgramFolder\Program.exe - it even accepts relative paths), folders and much more. All in little more than 100 KBytes! Sheer Magic!

Be aware that encryption and compression information is displayed only for routers that use standard encryption/compression algorithms.
    • This feature might be useful for people with programming knowledge who want to "play" with encrypting and decrypting the router file.

Works great here. It only displayed my login password in the table, but switching to ASCII mode revealed my WEP encryption keys, as well as other details.


Nirsoft certainly offers useful apps! I use their Metar Weather every day. Nirsoft's Wireless Network Watcher is quite handy, too, because in addition to my home router, there's a free public one in my vicinity; it's often flakey when under heavy use, but thanks to Nirsoft, I can check on the conditions in advance.

MIKLO on 2017-07-19 15:34

NirSoft has great software, of which I use many different Apps that are so very helpful. When I have a problem or even if I'm just trying to find something NirSoft is usually my first stop to see what they have in the way of Software to help me find, fix, or understand something I'm trying to do. Thanks so much for the many years of help I have received from NirSoft, I'm always amazed at the new things that become available to make my life easier along with many other people. Thanks again Nirsoft.

Last time I tried it, I was unable to redirect domains to 0.0.0.0 (an invalid IP, I know, but enabling much snappier redirection). Apart from that, it works well -- but there are other similar options.

Mozbackup no longer backups the address book in Thunderbird, the option is grayed out.

I would love a newer version to fix this issue, but it looks like this is abandonware now.

RightToolsForJob on 2021-05-31 21:25

More from my last post,
Just tried on another machine, and it is still working, even with option gray out.
So the first machine could have a corrupted setup.
So I will keep an eye on it, from now on.

Well that sure SUX, I don't understand why they put stuff in freeware and then hobble it so it can't really be used efficiently. Its like offering you a free sandwich with no bread, just doesn't make any sense. I don't even waste my time on this kinda stuff, as soon as I find out its so limited in what you can do I bail. That's why the comment section is so important.... at least to me it is :)
