SmartBackup takes the time and guess work out of backing up large drives or directories to CD, DVD or other low-capacity media. It supports smart disc spanning to safely store all of your files while minimizing the number of discs needed. SmartBackup is written entirely in Rexx and sports an optional PM graphical user interface. Even better is that SmartBackup is currently free for all use. However, if you believe SmartBackup is a valuable tool and wish to promote future development, you are asked to make a small donation. And SmartBackup is extensible through simple Rexx scripts. I have included two such "post-processing" scripts in the distribution. One records files directly to CD-R/RW while the other first Zip compresses the files and then records to CD-R/RW. The former method is quick while the latter maintains full long filenames and Extended Attributes. Users are free to create and distribute their own post-processing scripts to suit their unique needs. You may download SmartBackup 0.9 Beta from: http://freiheit.syntheticdimension.net/smartbackup_beta/ or wait for the official 1.0 release which you will be able to find here: http://freiheit.syntheticdimension.net/ecomstation-apps.php Please send bug reports to freiheitDESPAM at syntheticdimension.net and I will make every reasonable effort to correct the issue before the official 1.0 release.
