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

Take Control
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.
