Bvckup 2 is a backup/synchronization tool that uses "delta" copy methods, meaning it only transfers changes to a file or files rather than recopying the entire set. This is frequently faster, saves bandwidth for network backups and can help flash media live longer by reducing the overall number of disk writes. The program can do real-time, periodic or manual backups, and also functions as a file copier that can pause and resume both local and network transfers.
Note: this program is an unsupported beta, meaning that the author provides a commercial version of the program that includes support. A previous, freeware version with fewer features is available from bvckup.com.

@Midas
Yeah, sure I tested it.
Trashcan? Despite being logged in, I cannot see one.
From https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=7616#p29747, I quote:
'Basically if you have a non-zero rank and you are logged in, you will find a "trash can" icon at the end of every comment.'
I infer that my rank is too lowly to even be allowed to take out the trash.

@Ding: have you noticed the trashcan icon at the far right of all comments? That's how you delete a comment...
Plus, you are right, you solution looks far more simple and efficient. Have you tested it?

I wish I could edit or delete my previous comment because, although often now attributed to da Vinci, it appears that this cannot be substantiated and that the quote is of a fairly recent origin.
(See: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2015/04/02/simple/)
v68 (beta)
SET conf-dir="%~dp0Config"
START "" bvckup2.exe -c %conf-dir%
These suggested lines for bvckup2-portable.bat could be simplified to one:
bvckup2.exe -c %~dp0Config%

@PAFuser thanks for that, updating entry
v68 (beta)
I let bvckup2 do an update, version 1.0+beta updated, but it started with a temporary 1 hour license. Back to 0.68 from backup I have.

@Vacherin: Thanks: I'll check those out and update the instructions if Billon doesn't beat me to it.
Thanks for following up on this. I hope that giving away the old unsupported beta has helped gather attention for your program. It's definitely helped me.

@billon - both 32-bit and 64-bit bvckup2.exe (beta) binaries are now available from our site. You can link to them directly if you'd like. You may also want to mention in instructions to get a proper version for one's machine, because while a 32-bit version will indeed run on x64 Windows, the shadow copying won't work. One will need a 64-bit version for that.

That said, keep in mind that these are still builds from 2014.

If two ranked users click that trashcan icon, it will be deleted, too. I already did. :)
