1) Description.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Active Backup Expert software serves two main goals:
- make reserve copies (backups) of disk files;
- help to synchronize files on two (or more) PCs.

We recommend this software to you, if you need:
-to store files in compact format;
-to make backup copies of disk files in order to protect them;
-to take some files with you wherever you go;
-to have a record of state of your work.

There are some features of Active Backup Expert:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Active Backup Expert stores backups in standard .ZIP format, so in
addition to ABE you can use any ZIP compression tool to operate
with ABE-made backup files.

Active Backup Expert permits select backup set files as by exact
file names, as by wildcard masks. So new files matching one of
selected masks will be included to or excluded from new backups
without any care.

Within Active Backup Expert you can store as many backups as you
wish. You can browse files stored in any backup, view their
contents, extract or delete backuped files from a backup and
even open them with a default system editor.

Using command line arguments you can order ABE to create a
backup without any interaction with you. It lets to use ABE in
any automation utility to make scheduled backups. Please, take a
look to our Task Manager automation utility, if you doesn't have
one.

ABE supports an ActiveX Automation, allowing to control it within
your own application.

We had do (and we will do in next versions) our best to make user
interface most convenient and intuitive.
