Snap Backup description
The One-Click Backup Utility that gets the job done

Snap Backup - backup utility for individual computer users who need a simple and convenient way to backup their valuable files. The first time you run Snap Backup, you configure where your data files reside and where to create backup files.

Snap Backup is a simple backup application. There are not many options, but it does the job.

You can also specify an archive location, such as an Iomega Zip drive, for storing backup files. Snap Backup automatically puts the current date in the backup file name, alleviating you from the tedious task of renaming your backup file every time you backup.

The backup file is a single compressed file that can be read by zip programs such as gzip, PKZIP®, and WinZip®.

Good system administrators have backup procedures for their company servers, databases , and network files.

Individual computer users, on the other hand, are usually left to fend for themselves. Snap Backup is the simple answer for individual users, in the corporation or at home, who want to protect their valuable data.

Snap Backup is 100% Java and designed to run on any computer with Java 2 (build 1.4.2 or greater). Snap Backup is fully internationalized (meaning we just need to translate the words to support new languages).

Currently, Snap Backup is only offered in English, but we are actively working to translate into other languages.

How to run a JAVA Application (.jar format)

Download/copy the .jar file on your computer, preferably into an easy to remember location such as C:APP (change APP to the application name)

Open a Windows command prompt. To do so, first click on the Start button and choose the "Run..." option. Depending on your Windows Operating System
version, fill in the textbox with "cmd.exe" (Windows NT/2000/XP) or "command.com" (Windows 95/98/ME). After you have entered the text, press the Enter key.

Using the "cd" command, change directory to the location where the .jar file is placed. For example: cd C:APP

Check that the .jar file is there by using the "dir" command.
