Speedbackup Home and Speedbackup SE

SpeedBackup comes in different versions designed for different needs & different environments. SpeedBackup 1.5 can backup a maximum of ten folders and has a special functionality for e-mail backup. Under Windows 98, you can configure SpeedBackup to automatically backup all your Outlook Express e-mails at the click of a button. This is the ideal software for the home user wanting a simple and reliable backup solution to back up data from a computer to an external hard drive, thumb drive or Zip disc or across a local network.

SpeedBackup Second Edition has a multiple backup facility so that you can backup different data on Daily, Weekly or Monthly schedules. There is no limit to the number of folders that can be backed up in any one schedule. This version of the software is ideal for small business users who wish to make incremental data backups to external storage devices or who have a backup server to collect data from up to three workstation computers.

How to Use Speed Backup Second Edition

You can set up different backup regimens for each of your Daily, Weekly and Monthly backups. Each option will record your selection and, with the assistance of MS Task Scheduler, will run its own SpeedBackup Auto at your pre-determined times. To set up each backup routine:

1) Click on the 'Choose Folders' button and locate the folders that you want to save. Highlight each folder in turn and click 'OK'. Repeat for other folders you want to add to the Backup List.
2) Click on the 'Save Backups to...' button and then navigate to the location of the folder where you want the data backed up to.
3) Click on the 'Backup Data Now' button to back up the specified data to the specified location. Running 'Backup Data Now' will also save your settings to the Windows Registry to be used by SpeedBackup Auto.
4) Launch Microsoft Task Scheduler and configure it to run each of the SpeedBackup Auto files for the Daily, Weekly and Monthly routines on the dates of your choosing.

If you wish to change any of the settings in SpeedBackup, just click on the 'Clear Backup and Save Locations' to enable you to start afresh.

And if you wish to confirm that your backups have been successful, select File > View Log File for each of the backup routines. The logfiles record the time and date of the backup and show that the data has been backed up correctly.
