Resco Backup is an easy-to-use, but powerful utility to protect your Palm.
Resco Backup creates a safety copy of your handheld and lets you restore it in case of problems.
Key Features
While the purpose of various backup solutions is the same, there are important differences in the quality (speed, compression), safety (e.g. taking into account NVFS specifics) or add-on services.
Next paragraph attempts to make an objective comparison of the most popular backup programs. What is not seen in table - Resco Backup integrates and often exceeds the functionality of any existing package. Here are a few distinct points:
* Full or partial backup
* Full or partial restore
* Verification of the backup results
* Enhanced tools for backup set analysis and management
* Backup projects
* Backup of the internal drive
* Archive of the deleted files
* Alerts about scheduler failures
* Higher stability through locking of the background apps
Relation to the Resco Explorer
Explorer cannot do automatic (unattended) backup, is slower and less efficient and misses many advanced features. I.e. Explorer is good just for occasional manual backup.
Backup sets created by Resco Backup can be accessed (even edited) by Resco Explorer or WinZip-compatible zippers.
