DateCopy is a lightweight backup tool designed to copy all created or modified files to a new directory. You can then store this directory on CDs, floppies, a remote filespace, or whatever else.

By first backing up all your files, and then periodically using this package, you can easily keep a record of all your current files, plus have a history of changes to frequently modified files

The inbuilt DateCopy manual gives detailed advice about how to do backups.

Features:

￭ Set source and destination directories

￭ Multiple ways of choosing date of oldest file to be copied

￭ Keeps a record of the times and dates it was used

￭ Automatically chooses sensible options

￭ Certain file paths (eg your !Scrap and temp directories) can be ignored just by dragging them to a window
