Very few data files are destroyed by lightning, fire, or other catastrophes. Most critical files are lost because the user accidentally overwrites or erases them while working on them. Live File Backup lets you make copies of your working files every few minutes, ensuring that you can always go back to the version which you liked, before you carelessly erased it.

Cham, Switzerland - INFONAUTICS GmbH has released Live File Backup v. 2.8, a powerful Windows utility that takes continual snapshots of the data files that you are working on, and creates backups at regular intervals. Unlike a daily or weekly backup program that lets you save one copy of your data files each time the backup program is run, Live File Backup can make copies of your important files every few minutes, and store as many copies as you wish to keep.

Any backup program can save files that are closed. Unlike the vast majority of backup applications, Live File Backup can consistently and reliably save files that are open. The software understands how to safely grab a copy of the Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, or PowerPoint file that you're currently updating, and save it to disk every few minutes. In fact, Live File Backup can back up all of your open Windows files, and ensure that you have the backups that you need when your file gets scrambled or lost. When needed, the program restores any of the older versions of your lost or corrupted files, quickly and easily. 

Novice users can tell Live File Backup to run each time Windows is started, and to back up all files that change. Power users can fine-tune the program's settings, including or excluding files and folders, and storing the generations of backups on selected network drives. It's easy to specify how many days, or how many generations, of data to save. The software maintains a complete log of all of the files that it backs up. 

Live File Backup supports all of the storage media on your PC or LAN, including hard drives, external drives, network drives (and universal naming convention (UNC) paths), USB memory sticks, network attached storage (NAS), and Internet and Intranet FTP server drives. All of your data can be compressed and encrypted, to save space and keep your files secure. The interface is available in both English and German. 

Whether you're a business owner who needs to make continual backups to the external hard drive attached to your PC, a network administrator who wants to ensure that all of your users' files are being updated constantly on the LAN's Network Attached Storage (NAS) device, or a sales person who wants the added security of having your working files being continually backed up onto a USB memory stick when you're working on your computer in your hotel room or in your clients' offices, Live File Backup has the tools that you need. 

Live File Backup v. 2.8 runs under Windows 98/2000/XP/Vista, costs $49(US) for a single-user license, and may be purchased securely online from http://www.livefilebackup.com/. A business license, covering up to ten computers at a single company, costs $196. Corporate site licenses are available for $441.
