  3. Nice! All the good features. Mandatory compression, transactions, shadow copy, incremental, cleanup of old revisions. Hope it develops into an awesome program. File content diff will be more awesome in the future.

  6. I don’t get it
    I make config INI file but it spits database error which was never provided
    nor made example how to create one manually

    so this tool is useless

    • Would be nice to use zpaq instead of 7zip. Its much better at deduping and compression can be crazy good. Also would be nice to have an option to set what 7z settings are used.

      Dixie, you have to make sure the directory is there where you’re backing up to. I was doing it to d:\backups but forgot to create the dir and got the db error
