SmartBackup

Have you ever wanted to quickly backup a complete drive or directory tree to CD but didn't want to spend the time sorting all the files to fit the 650 or 700MB limit per disc? Have you been putting off a needed system backup because of the time it takes to prepare your files to be copied? If so, you're not alone, but SmartBackup may be the solution to your dread of backups.

SmartBackup takes the time and guess work out of backing up large drives or directories to CD, DVD or other low-capacity media. It supports smart disc spanning to backup all of your files while minimizing the number of discs needed. It has been developed entirely in Rexx, is extensible through post-processing scripts to support any backup method or media you can imagine, and best of all it's free!
