WinRescue XP v1.08.41

Registry Crash Protection
Recover from a Crash in Two Minutes!!!
WinRescue backs up the Registry and
important configuration files, packs the
Registry, troubleshoots problems,
provides fivefold protection from system
crashes, backs up any and all files that
you desire, and much more (see below).

Windows XP Won't Start?
Run WinRescue in Safe Mode, run the DOS
version of WinRescue in another operating
system (like, DOS or another Windows), or
use the WinRescue bootup diskette to
restore the Registry from outside of
Windows.


Did a Program Mess up Windows?
WinRescue makes snapshots of Windows. If
you install a program that messes up
Windows, just use the Crash Fixer to
restore Windows to the way it was before.

FIVEfold Protection
WinRescue has five ways to restore:
to WinXP Restore Points,
to Spare Registry,
to WinRescue Backups,
from Diskette, CD, or Removable Drive,
or to the Original Registry.
Please note that the registry may only be
backed up and restored by the
Administrator.

RegPack the Registry
Removes the mush and rebuilds the
Registry decreasing the size of the
Registry and allowing Windows to run more
effieciently.

Windows Troubleshooters
Troubleshooters can help you track down
problems in Windows. The following
troubleshooters can be run from the Help
tab of WinRescue.
Display,
Drives and Network Adapters,
DVD,
E-mail,
Games and Multimedia,
Hardware,
Home Networking,

Start Protecting your Data with WinRescue
Now
Now is the time to start backing up your
data. You never know when something will
happen that could wipe everything out. Be
ready with WinRescue. WinRescue can be
set up to run automatically. It can run
minimized so that you can go on with your
business.
It is a good idea to back up to another
drive. WinRescue will back up to
harddrive, diskette, CD, DVD, DDCD, Zip
Drive, Network Drive, and any device that
can be copied to in Windows Explorer.

Backup and Restore Wizards
Wizards provide step-by-step instructions
through the backup and restore process.

Open ZIP Files
The Extractor in WinRescue will open zip
files and extract files from them.

An Uninstaller
Run Backup before installing an
application (especially if you are only
trying it out). Then if it messes up your
computer or you uninstall it soon
afterwards, run WinRescue's Crash Fixer
to return your operating system back to
the way it was before the application was
installed (this will remove the hidden
entries that applications often leave in
the registry).

Quick Transfer of Files between Computers
With the Backup Properties set on No
Compression and Replace, WinRescue will
transfer selected folders and files from
one computer to another computer on a
network (this works good to keep your
laptop in sync with your desktop and vice
versa).

Five Backup Types

Full Backup backs up all of the specified
files.
Incremental Backup only backs up files
that have changed since the last Full or
Incremental backup. Backed up files will
not be backed up again until they change.
Differential Backup only backs up files
that have changed since the last Full or
Incremental backup. Backed up files will
be backed up again on the next Backup.
Replace opens up the Backup File and
replaces any of the specified files that
are different.
Full (Archive not reset) Backup backs up
all of the specified files, but does not
reset the Archive attribute (this is for
programs like Quicken which do not like
the attributes of their files changed).

Specify Four Different Configs
Use WinRescue's default or create up to
four different setups (configs) that
decide what happens during Backup. For
example, one config could back up the
registry to the hard drive, a second
config could back up recently changed
files to the Zip drive, and a third
config could backup other files to a
network drive.

Back up Any Files, Directories, or Types
of Files that you Want
Selecting files to back up is as easy as
clicking a checkbox from the
Explorer-type list. Wildcards can be used
to specify types of files to back up,
such as, *.txt for all text files.

Boot Disk
Creates a special bootup diskette for
when you cannot get to the first menu of
WinNT. Just insert the bootup diskette
and restart the computer. The menu will
be displayed that lets you choose
operating systems, like, DOS, Win95, or
WinXP.

Change Target Directory for Backups
Decide where a Backup Set will be placed.
Back up to hard drive, diskette, Zip
Drive, Network Drive, CD, DDCD, or DVD.

Number of Backups
WinRescue keeps track of how many backups
it has made and automatically deletes
excess backups. Choose to allow 1 to
10,000 backups.

Use WinRescue's Defaults.
If you don't know which files to back up,
use WinRescue's default selections. The
following items are available by default.

Registry Files
Initiation Files
Print Hood
Start Menu
Desktop
Favorites
Application Data
Recent
Net Hood
Send To
IE Cache
Control Panel
Nine Important Files

Automatic Features
At specified intervals (daily, weekly,
bimonthly, monthly, or never) WinRescue
XP will automatically perform the
following operations:
Start WinRescue and Wait
Back up 1st. Config
Back up 2nd. Config
Back up 3rd. Config
Back up 4th. Config

Run any of the above functions at certain
times using the Task Scheduler.

Backup Manager
The Backup Manager tells where Backup
Sets are located and easily deletes,
renames, and adds them.

Verifies Backups
If you choose, after a backup is made
WinRescue will go back and checks the
integrity of the backup to make sure that
it is good.

DOS Version
WinRescue XP comes with a DOS version,
just in case you cannot get into
WindowsXP. The DOS version will restore
WindowsXP outside of WindowsXP from the
spare registry, WinRescue backups, or the
repair registry. The DOS version will not
work when WinXP is installed on a NTFS
partition.

Compress Backup Files
Choose the Compression Ratio of Backups.
Choose from:
Do Not Compress
Low/Fast Compression
Medium Compression
High/Slow Compression
Higher/Slower Compression
Highest/Slowest Compression

Use the Extractor to restore individual
files
The Extractor opens WinRescue backup
files, displays the enclosed files, and
allows the user to choose which files to
restore. Restore to original location,
temporary directory, or to specified
location.

PKZip Backups
Backup Sets that are compressed are PKZip
compatible. So if you don't want to use
WinRescue XP to restore, you can use
WinZip or pkunzip.exe.
