BackUp Xplorer overview

What is BackUp Xplorer?

Prioritize your important files by creating automatic sequential backup copies stored within the individual file. This program fills in the void that file history creates by a one size fits all approach.

Backup Xplorer puts the file first separating the backup routine from the standard operating system backup associated with File History.

Control the frequency, location, & number of backups for each individual file.

Works with: Excel | Word | PowerPoint | Project | Publisher | Outlook
