Exactly does what I want. It is also good that the backups can be use without the program itself. It does not seem to be updated since 2009 but I will give it a try.

backup2l can do exactly what you want:

http://backu= p2l.sourceforge.net/


Nice one indeed. Exactly does what I w= ant. It is also good that the backups=A0
can be use without the p= rogram itself.

It does not seem to be updated sinc= e 2009 but I will give it a try.=A0
