ArchivePro 2000 is a powerful archiving utility giving powerful
effective control over the archiving and recall of any sort of data
and is an ideal accompaniment to removable writable media such as
ZIP drive, CDRs, JAZ drives etc. It can run standalone on a single 
PC or at the heart of a complete office or organisation wide data
management strategy across a LAN, WAN or even the Internet.

ArchivePro allows you to take files or groups of files and store 
them (either deleting or retaining the originals) on an "archive 
device", probably a Zip Disk or a CD Writer or reserved area of a 
Hard Drive or something similar. It will compress the files and keep 
track of them, and you can search for them and recall them at any 
time. The archive device doesn't have to be on your PC, although it 
can be. It can be a device on another PC on your local area network, 
or even on a system on the other side of the world connected via a 
wide-area network or even the Internet. Multiple PCs (the "clients") 
can all use the same archive device, which is connected to a single 
PC ("the server"). Or a PC ("the client") can use multiple different 
PCs ("servers") for different purposes, archiving some data to one 
place, other data elsewhere.

As well as archiving files you can also archive "Disk Images". You can 
take a floppy disk, even a bootable one, and archive it on an archive 
server. Then at any time, from any client (security permissions that 
you set allowing), you can recreate the disk. Great for DOS boot disks, 
driver disks etc.

There are extensions to the Windows Explorer context menu to make 
archiving files an extremely simple process, simply select the file or 
group of files/directories you want, right-click and select the new 
Archive command.

Regular archive requirements can be met by the definition of ArchivePro 
"Jobs" - shortcuts that start the Archive Process with a predetermined 
specification of the files to be archived. These shortcuts can be put 
on the Windows desktop for instant access, and can be scheduled by any 
appropriate scheduling package (System Agent for example).

Potential uses include - Software developers, to maintain multiple 
versions of code; Support technicians, to archive drivers, installation 
disks etc.; Hobby users, to manage and keep track of downloaded software; 
Lawyers, Accountants and similar professions, to archive work done on a 
particular job or for a particular client; Multi-staff offices, to ensure 
anyone can access data regarding a particular client; Multi-location 
offices to provide easy access to common data across a distance; and many 
more...
