-### What does BackupMinder do for me? -Backup Minder is a utility to help manage the many backup files left by repetitive backup processes. - -### What are some examples of these "repetitive backup proceses", and why are they a problem? -*Each time Quickbooks is quit, a backup is created, sometimes leaving 3-4 backups per day.
-*LightSpeed Retail's server will create a backup every day, potentially filling the entire drive.
-*FileMaker Pro Server can rotate daily backups, but have no long term history.
-*An Excel file may be updated in place, and not have a backup placed elsewhere.
- - -### How does BackupMinder help in these cases? -*BackupMinder can be configured to keep only a specified number of backups, perhaps the last 60 daily backups.
-*BackupMinder can move the last backup of the month to a specified Archive Folder, resulting in 12 good backups per year.
-*BackupMinder can keep only the latest copy of a file version in a specified folder, allowing an archival tool to see only one backup.
-*BackupMinder can tell if a backup has not been added within a designated number of days.
