New in the current version
Integrated function to use volume shadow copies (VSS) on backup
Requirements:
The program must be started as administrator. It is not sufficient to be logged on with an account having administrative rights. Even in this case the program must be started using the option Run as adminstrator. This is being caused by the protection of the Windows user acces control.
The local drive from which files shall be backed up is formatted in NTSF.
All directories to be backed up in one task are located on the same drive.
The installed version of Personal Backup must fit to the system (i.e. the 32 bit version on 32 bit system or the 64 bit version on 64 bit systems)
Backup of single files optionally as zip files (also on FTP)
Exceptions for file types not be compressed also for zip files
Security copies optional into separate directory
More clearly arranged settings for security copies on all actions
Enhanced FTP settings
New command line option /end:idleoff: like /end:poweroff, but the system will only be shut down if no interactive user is logged on
Optional locking the computer before backup is started on logoff/shutdown
Automatic deletion of older log files
One-click backup of a directory via the Windows Explorer context menu
Updated to OpenSSL v1.0.2c
Many bug-fixes and enhancements
Languages: German, English, French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish and Hungarian
More features
Backup and restore of junctions (only NTFS)
Copying of file permissions (only NTFS and network)
Restore of file permissions (only NTFS and network) and file details (only NTFS)
Optional password protection for overwriting of task file
Optional log of FTP communication to debug connection issues
Function to delete old log files
To reduce the traffic on the download server, checking for program updates is made only biweekly.
Release notes
Other notes:
Due to technical reasons, the processing of automatic updates was changed with Version 5.4.8. Users having an older version cannot update from within the program, but need to download and install the current version manually. Subsequently, the update will function automatically again.
From Version 5.4 Personal Backup has been created using the IDE of Delphi XE2 by Embarcadero which has full Unicode support and overcomes the ANSI (ISO-8859) filenames limitations on copying files. Also pathlengths may be longer than 260 characters.
The most important enhancements in that respect:
Display file and directory names using other than ISO-8859 characters (e.g. Greek or Cyrillic)
Backup such files as gzip and zip
Backup such files via FTP provided that the server supports UTF-8
Mail delivery in UTF-8 format
Save, restore and delete files with path lengths > 260 characters
Windows 98/ME are no longer supported.
The program package contains the following additional tools:
PbPlaner: Create alternating backup schedules using Windows Task Scheduler
PbRestore: Restore backed-up single files, directories and files from alternating schedules (even compressed and/or encrypted files)
The program at a glance
Personal Backup is a program for saving personal data to any destination folder. This folder may be located on a local fixed or removable drive, on a Windows network server or on an FTP server. network server or on an FTP server. The 32-bit version runs under Windows 7 and 8 (32- & 64-bit), Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003/2008(R2)/2012(R2), the 64-bit only under Windows 7 and 8 (64-bit) and Windows Server 2008(R2)/2012(R2).
You can configure and store as many backup tasks as you wish. The selection of the files to be backed up is made on a by-folder basis. All subfolders are included automatically, but the user can exclude or include any subdirectories from or in the backup by selection or by filter. Additional criteria are the selection by file type, file age and/or file name filter.
At the destination folder the original drives (C:, D:, etc.) appear as subdirectories named LwC, LwD, etc. The original directory structure remains unchanged beneath these folders. All files may be compressed in gzip, either in toto or separated by subfolders as zip files. Optionally all data can be AES algorythm-encrypted.
Performing the backup can be done manually or automatically. During the backup the program checks whether the file to be saved is newer than one already backed up. Only new files and files with newer timestamps are saved. An alternate criteria is the archive bit of the files.
Automatic backups can be started on logon, at a selectable time of day, on logoff or on shutdown. You can make scheduled backups with destination paths changing daily or weekly.
For individual schedules it is easy to start a backup using the Windows Task Scheduler and the command line options of the program.
Note: Personal Backup cannot be used to save and restore system files.
