The Workplace Shell Backup Utility (WPSbkup) allows you to create backups of the files, directories and related information that control the appearance and function of your OS/2 desktop. The associated restore process is very fast and easy to use.

Why you should backup your desktop:

You simply can not run your OS/2 system without using the desktop interface. You spend a lot of time defining and arranging the desktop so that you can effectively use your OS/2 system. The time that you spend doing this is cumulative and after a while represents a significant effort.

Hardware errors and other problems may damage or disable your desktop. Manually reconstructing your desktop after a catastrophic failure can take days. You may not be able to remember all of the settings that you have made over time. You may not even be aware of desktop settings that are made for you when you install OS/2 products on your system.

So, having a good desktop backup and restore utility is very important to your system well being.

What makes WPSbkup a superior choice for desktop backup:

• WPSbkup is reliable. No one has more experience than the New Freedom Data Center when it comes to OS/2 desktop backup and restore. The first WPSbkup corporate site registration was shipped on March 15, 1992 and individual registrations were shipped before that. WPSbkup has been continually supported since then and modified as required for each new release of OS/2.
• With WPSbkup, "one size fits all" releases of OS/2. You can implement the same WPSbkup desktop backup and restore procedure across your organization for any desktop running OS/2 2.x or OS/2 Warp.
• WPSbkup is easy to use. Hundreds of suggestions by satisfied registrants have been implemented in WPSbkup over the years. By and large, these suggestions have made WPSbkup the most user friendly application that you can find.
• WPSbkup is very flexible and feature rich. You can tailor WPSbkup to support multiple copies of OS/2, multiple users or multiple operational modes (demos, travel, etc.)
• WPSbkup enables you to make desktop backups on demand. Backups are only made when you need them and while you are running. There is no need to reboot your system just to make a backup of your desktop. At boot time, you don't have to wait while backups are made that you don't really need.

  You can implement unattended modes for both the backup and restore processes. That makes WPSbkup easy to use on servers that require continuous (7x24) operation.

• WPSbkup is easy on your system resources. The backup is well-behaved and will not interfere with other system processes. Backup files are compressed in order to consume a minimal amount of disk space.

WPSbkup is an extraordinary value. Both individual and corporate registrations are priced to please.
