Backup Magic is a simple, fast and compact backup/file copy utility for power users and system administrators (it is not designed for people who have limited knowledge about computer file systems). It is not meant for full system backups and does not have loads of options, but it does include all of the tools required to get your daily backup jobs done quickly and easily. Backup Magic copies new or modified files (you can specify include/exclude masks) from selected folders to another location such as a folder, network drive, zip disk or whatever writeable device you see in Windows Explorer. Even making a backup to a CD-R(W) or DVD-R(W) disk is not a problem if you have packet-writing software like DirectCD or InCD running. You can also make multiple groups and specify several file filtering options, request log file generation, use incremental or mirror copy mode and much more. Additionally, you can use variables in destination folder names so you can automatically generate folder names with current date/time/day (like Backup of Monday AM or 2007-01-07) - useful for keeping version history by date.

Backup Magic is useful for both personal users and corporate users in a networking environment:

Key features for single/home users:

• Fast and easy to use daily backup solution
• Use either Mirror or Incremental mode with include/exclude files/folders masks
• Allows variables in destination folder name to create a destination folder name that includes current date/time
• Uses simple file copy; does not use any proprietary file formats so you can restore your data without Backup Magic, simply by copying files back to the source location
• Works with most standard writeable media (hard drive, floppy, Zip drive, CD-RW, network drive etc)
• Can detect file changes by timestamp or archive bit

Additional value for corporate users\administrators:

• Contains a unique, separate, lightweight 32-bit console-mode executable that can be used on Windows NT/2000/XP to make automated, scheduled (using AT or Scheduled Tasks) backups in the background. This feature allows you to copy/backup data from workstations to a server automatically, so you save employees from making backups themselves.
• An administrator can create a backup set file for each user, so they only need to launch this file to make a backup to a file server. They don't see the backup set editor and they don't need to know how to make a backup set themselves.
• Very affordable pricing for companies with many computers. See the prices.

What Backup Magic can’t do:

• Perform full system backup (operating system) – it is not possible to copy several key files that are in use by an operating system. In addition, Backup Magic does not perform low level copying like boot sectors, etc. It is designed to copy your data files like documents, images, databases, music, etc.
• It does not support compression and disk spanning. That means when your target disk becomes full, you’ll get an error and Backup Magic does not prompt you to insert next disk to continue. That is because Backup Magic copies the original files exactly, it does not convert them to a proprietary backup file format (ie. does plain file copy).
