I have stopped development of this application. But it still works fine under Windows XP...

This application creates zip file backups. I've been using it constantly since the beginning of 2003, and it has never shown any (file related) problems.

You might ask, why yet another backup application? There are already lots of them.

Because this one is freeware and takes quite a few measures to check for errors and make secure the backups are exact copies of your files. You also get detailed logfiles in XML, that can be easily viewed in your Internet browser.

To convert your old task files, just run "Convert.exe" in your Radix Archive folder.

Tasks

First you'll have to tell the application what files it should backup and where it should write them. I call a set of these data task. You can add, edit and delete task files by selecting the task in the list and clicking on the appropriate button. Task files are stored in the Tasks subdirecory of the application directory.

Tasks are selected and deselected by left-clicking on the list. A double click or clicking the button Run starts the backup process. Success and errors will be shown using green or red colors in front of the task name.

The application stores folders by their actual name. Only your "My Documents" folder will be stored as a variable (called CSIDL_PERSONAL). If you move that directory, you don't have to rewrite all of your task files!

Backup stages

Every action is logged XML files located in the Logfiles subdirecory of the application directory. Errors will be marked in red (if you don't like the XML formatting, just write your own).
