The freeware version of Acritum's One-click Backup for WinRAR is a
handy add-on for users that already own Rarlab's venerable,
feature-filled $29 WinRAR archiving utility. OCB implements
scheduled backups to local media using WinRAR's RAR and Zip
compression, password protection, data integrity tests,
authentication, parity information, and self-extracting archives.
You can also automatically run programs before and after each
backup as well as specify the maximum number of archives to keep,
or simply continue to update a single archive. The program will
even write to CD/DVD. The GUI is plain but serviceable and the
plentiful options will likely confuse users without WinRAR
experience till they read the well-written, informative help file.
As nicely as OCB performed in my testing, the $50 shareware
version, which adds network support and kills the freeware
version's splash screen, is a tad pricey unless you're an IT type
who loves WinRAR. Both the free and the shareware versions of
One-click BackUp for WinRAR are in this installation package, so
you have your choice of which version to install.
Note: WinRAR must be installed before this software.
