                                Version 1.03


Smart Backup is a new kind of backup software for Windows 95/98/NT. If you
analyze a normal harddisk, only 3 - 10% of the space is used by your data
files. Most of the files are program files, system files, DLLs, etc.
SmartBackup now helps you to find and backup your important data files. After
the first backup, only those files are copied, which are new or have changed.
SmartBackup can automatically do a backup of your data files every day or on
every Windows start. Since only new and changed files are copied, this regular
backup only takes seconds, but you can always be sure to have a second copy
of all your important files. Additionally you can use Smart Backup to
replicate your data files to a second harddisk, a network server or your
notebook.

Please report all bugs to support@jam-software.com . Here's a list of known
bugs and problems:
* The "Mark files for smart backup" menu item in the Explorer context
  menu is intended to allow users to select files for backup in the
  Windows Explorer or File Open/Save dialogs without starting SmartBackup.
  In the file system view of SmartBackup, where you can check files for
  backup with the boxes left of the name, the Explorer context menu is
  available too, but the context menu item "Mark files for smart backup"
  does not work here.
