Backup Mover
You want to set up a incremental backup in Acronis to safeguard your data. You tell Acronis to preform the incremental backups all week long, but you also want to preform a full backup on the first of the week. Thats where Backup Mover works it’s magic, Backup Mover will move your incremental backups to a time stamped sub-directory allowing Acronis to preform another full backup.
Simply configure Backup Mover with it’s configuration interface, and apply the generated settings to Acronis or whatever backup program you use.
Now your backups will be stored for 2 weeks and full backups will be preformed on Saturdays!
Backup Mover is free software but requires .NET V2 runtime and is available in both 32 and 64 bit flavors.

Event Log Logging (For Servers)
Sometimes delete directory failed, added new recursive delete.
Updates 11/14/2007:
Installer has been fixed to only check for installations of .NET v2
Backup_Mover_x64.zip (333.0 KiB, 303 hits)
Backup_Mover_x86.zip (333.1 KiB, 407 hits)
The installer does not require .NET 2.0, but 3.5!
Please do not require a Beta framework, 2.0 should be sufficient.
Is the current cross-platform Mono 1.2.5.1 supported (to allow usage on Linux)?
This has been fixed in the latest version, thank you for reporting the bug. As for if it works wit mono, I am unsure. Please test it if you can and let me know.
The included setup.exe still wants to install 3.5, but this time BackupMoverSetup.msi recognizes the installed 2.0 and installs flawlessly.
The Mono Migration Analyzer reported no problems, so it should run under the current Mono 1.2.5.1 without problems on Windows and Linux.
I submitted the test result to help the project.

Very good program. Will certainly enhance my backup routine
Excellent utility! I wanted to implement this on all of my machines, but we’re not allowed to put .NET on them. Is there anyway you could create this without the .net requirement?
Thanks,
James
