In depth
A closer look at Back Rest
Back up and restore your favorite files and folders. Also create highly customized, self-extracting archives. Runs manually from a project list, or unttended as a Windows task. Uses built-in ZIP or external ACE compression, so your files can be extracted (restored) outside of the Back Rest program. For self-extracting archives, you have many options for setting button captions and command text that is presented to the end user. The optional ACE compression requires an external program, WinAce version 2.11 or higher. Back Rest acts as a shell to WinAce, sending the commands to that application based on your project settings.
