Details
It can be used as a simple drive-to-drive backup utility, or aid rolling out PCs, by finding user files without multiple searches.
It will keep the directory structure that it found the files in, for quick and easy location afterward.
This will be useful for people who do not have Mirimar's DesktopDNA or the Alteris products, or people who do not have Zfd 4.1 (which has DesktopDNA built into it). It is not a replacement for either.
2.01 Update: fixed small error that was not allowing files to be copied from a drive other than c:\.

- Haven't tried this, but from what the description says, you can just do the following in a batch file (Windows 2000/XP): MD D:\BACKUP FOR %%X IN (DOC XLS) DO FOR /R C: %%Y IN (*.*) DO IF /I "%%~xY" EQU ".%%X" COPY /Y "%%Y" D:\BACKUP Of course, that could be easily editted using %RANDOM% to handle file names that are exactly the same or to keep the directory structure.

- This program will allow you to manually select/unselect files to copy, something the batch file won't. It's a little slow at times, but otherwise it is a good little utility to have around, especially since we don't have money for a commercial product. Hopefully future releases will allow us to migrate settings as well.
