Xceed Backup Library is an ActiveX control that can backup to local/remote drive(s), and removable media such as floppy, CD-R, "Zip" drives, "SuperDisks", "SyQuest", and more. A built-in, intelligent job scheduler lets you setup scheduled jobs for even the most complex backup schemes. The library manages the backup files, which can span multiple media, are compressed, labeled, and can be deleted by the retention management system when they get too old.
Easy Backup and Restore for your apps The Xceed Backup Library is an ActiveX control that allows Windows applications to automatically perform their own backup and restore operations. Xceed Backup can be added to existing projects with practically no coding, providing instant protection against lost or corrupted data files, end-user mistakes and hard drive crashes.
How it works This library speaks and thinks in backup terms. By setting the backup library's ActiveX control properties, you tell it which files need to be backed up, where to back them up, and when you want the files backed up. The library does the rest.
Multi-threaded - works in background Xceed Backup is a multi-threaded, fully self-contained ActiveX control. It has a built-in scheduler, supports asynchronous (background) operation, and it can backup your application's data transparently without any end-user intervention or screen noise.
