Backup- and Visual Source Safe Backup Script Software for Windows

Active Backup Expert Pro
$45 - OrionSoftLab

A full-featured backup tool creates automated zip- or cab-format backups of local and network files on hard disks, CDs and other removable devices, local network or FTP site. A Wizard guides you through the steps of the backup-set creation: selecting the folders and filters for included and excluded files, specifying the storage folder and setting to schedule. Once you have configured your backup-sets, the ABE will create the unlimited number of backups at timed moments. Though you can use a shortcut or a hotkey to launch a backup anytime you wish. Use Incremental or Differential mode to back up only new and changed files. You can easily restore the files from any backup, view or edit their content. The export and import features are useful to synchronize the folders on two or more PCs and to span large backups across multiple discs. Other features include selecting files by date, size and attributes, Blowfish backup encryption, creating self-extracting backups, the support for the Command-line and ActiveX automation. The ample documentation is available. The ABE Pro creates the unattended backups by using the Active Task Manager included into the installation package. This automation utility can work as a stand-alone application to help you to schedule other tasks. Though, you can use the MS Task Scheduler to automate your backups as well.

OutSource-XP
$29.95 - Totalidea Software

Unfortunately Outlook 2002 / 2003 does not include any option to save and restore all your important personal files, settings, templates, and eMail accounts. This is where OutSource-XP helps you. It creates backups of your Outlook 2002 - 2007 files, settings, and eMail account settings. Additionally, OutSource-XP can create a backup of your Office 2002 - 2007 activation.

OutSource-XP automatically collects all important Outlook files, and lists them for you. The only thing you have to do is to choose the files (and settings) you want to backup, and click a single button to start the backup creation. The unregistered version of OutSource-XP saves the files into a pre-selected ?backup-folder?, but does not compress the files. The registered version compresses the backup into one single file, and offers a ?Quick-Backup? feature which creates a backup just with a single mouseclick.

After creating a backup, you?re on the ?safe side? ? no matter what happens to your machine, or operating system: your Outlook files are safe (as long as you do store the backup on an external harddrive or media).

Restoring your files takes a few seconds only ? just select the files you want to restore and OutSource-XP will do the job: it extracts your backup and copies all selected files into the correct system folders, and imports your eMail account settings and user specific registry settings into the Windows registry database.
