Backup Again Backup Again is a program that makes backing up your files a breeze. More specifically, Backup Again allows you to : - specify the directories to backup, - specify whether you want to backup each directory or each directory and each of their sub-directories, - specify whether you want to backup all files, or just those modified after a certain date, and then you simply press the "Backup and ZIP" button and all files are backed-up and compressed into a single ZIP file which is automatically named according to the current date / time.

With Backup Again, backing up your data need never get you down !!
