Just download and unzip it into an empty dir. While it is only in English, I make it available, to see if it worth to make it multilingual: ZipMyTheBat. It ZIPs selected directories and the HKCU/Software/RIT reg key into a zip file. In the name of the ZIP file, %Date and %Time macro can be used. Also, if the program is started with the -r switch, it will automatically run using the parameters set. So, it can be used for scheduled backup. After playing around with ZIP components, I gave up, all of them had some flaw (did not work ok, was too slow, or not free :)). So I trigger a standalone ZIP program. So, now ZipMyTheBat works this way: - on the screen you add the directories to add to the ZIP file - you specify the ZIP file (the program saves these settings in the ZipMyBat.ini file and will be loaded next time), %Date and %Time macros can be used. The "\", ":", " " etc. characters will be replaced by "_" in the filename - you click on the ZIP it! button - ZipMyTheBat exports the HKCU/Software/RIT reg key into C:\TheBat_%DATE_%TIME.reg - after a 5 sec delay it triggers the freeware FreeByte ZIP (I put it into the distrib package) and passes along the directories and the exported .reg file and the name of the ZIP file, so FreeByte ZIP will produce the ZIP file. So, ZipMyTheBat is like a Windows GUI batch editor kind of thing. But I can add it now to my scheduled tasks or click on an icon and I will have a complete backup of my TB. In my case, it is only the C:\Program files\The Bat! dir and the reg. key. I tested, it was able to produce a >2 GB file. I dont know about the 4 GB limit, I guess it cannot handle that. Vili PS: Free of course. If someone need the Delphi 3 source code, project, let me know. ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.0.18.3 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
