WinBackup
v 3
WinBackup is a applications that make backups of different types of files automatic or with a minimal use input.
Very often the people that work with important files don't realize who important is to make backups, only realize it when they need a replacement copy of the files. That was the reason the I 've been working in this project: to make a very simple backup programme.

The version 1.0 only worked with files, version 2.0 never see the light of the day and now here is version that work with any files and with firebird files, making a backup using Firebird's server and compressing the file.
ATTENTION: I will only release the files when sourcefourge statistics are on line.
Specifications
Hard to setput by the user (it must be made by a system administrator)
Generate *.gdk files.

Compress optionally the files to zip format

Do backup of more than one Firebird files.

Execute backup on run or by user action.

Allow one backup by day, week, month or alway that the application is executed.
