SCOUG OS/2 For You - September 1995

WPS Backup 3.0

WPS Backup is a good alternative to the archiving feature built into Warp. WPS Backup has a number of features to make it worth the extra effort. First, it generates a single .CMD that you can easily copy onto a floppy disk or to another computer.

WPS Backup also has the ability to log its actions as well as errors to a file so that you can review it later. For users who have not upgraded to OS/2 3.0, WPS Backup works on OS/2 2.1 and OS/2 2.11 too. Perhaps most important, WPS Backup lets you backup any time - you don't have to reboot your machine.

If you rarely backup your desktop, WPS Backup will add little value. However, if you appreciate the flexibility added by WPS Backup, the $15 registration fee is certainly reasonable. The file to download is:
