12) ESSENTIAL INFO BEFORE DOWNLOADING

I’ve placed the download links at the end of this article in hopes that you will have read all the above first. (Alas, many people skip right to the downloads, and then are confused about what the files are and how they work.)

In any case, let me repeat: ZipIt is NOT intended to be a finished, ready-to-run tool, but is rather a kind of template you can use to create a custom tool that’s specific to your own particular setup and needs. PLEASE follow the instructions in the rest of this article inside the files to ensure that the file contents and structure are OK to run on *your specific* setup.

Note that the ZipIt files also contain information on how to use the ZipIt-compressed/protected files for Restore operations; *please* read the files before trying to use them for anything!

Because I don't know your system or setup or needs, I regret that I cannot offer one-on-one advice in modifying the ZipIt scripts for your particular system. But you can find all you need via the info above. Or, if you’re new to batch files, check out http://content.techweb.com/winmag/columns/explorer/2000/21.htm . Combined, those links either directly contain everything you need to know about working with batch files, or have pointers to other sites that will tell you all you need to know.

Here are the downloads: Click, or Right-Click/Save As, the following links. Note the files are in compact Zip form; you’ll need some kind of uncompressor (such as WinZip, mentioned above) to unpack the files.

(Legal Info: Please note the cautions here http://www.langa.com/legal.htm ;
it is your responsibility to follow all instructions above and within the actual scripts to ensure that these files are OK to run on your particular system and setup.)

DOWNLOAD, UNZIP AND RUN ALL THE ZIPIT FILES IN THE SAME DIRECTORY WHERE YOU STORE YOUR BACKUPS (such as D:\backups\):

(Note: In some browsers, you may need to right-click on the following links
 and select  “save link as…”)
