10 Daily Things

Among its many useful features, UNIX allows users to easily set up and run tasks automatically using “cron”, a tool that helps you to schedule and run programs at particular times. A cron job can automatically back-up your system, download your email, check to see if your web site is down, and a zillion other things.

Z-Cron Scheduler lets your Windows system mimic this behavior. You can set tasks to happen on whatever schedule you need, whether hourly, weekly, monthly, or on some other schedule. Virus scan your machine daily; back up your data weekly; download web access logs monthly. You don’t have to remember to do any of these if your machine is keeping track of it all instead. You can even have it pop up messages to remind you of things that the computer can’t do, like remember to pick up the dry cleaning on the way home.

A free download, Z-Cron Scheduler is a Windows app. It requires Windows 98 or later, including NT.

Amic Email Backup is a handy software tool for Microsoft Windows based PCs designed to create backup copy of your email database. Amic Email Backup can save emails, address book, settings, mail and news accounts, message rules, blocked senders lists and signatures to a single, compact, compressed backup file that can be easily restored when necessary.

This is where Amic Email Backup comes to rescue, it allows the home and small business computer user to save the email folders and settings easily, either manually or automated at periodic times. This eliminates the need for an uncessesary complex and expensive complete backup software.

The software is easy to use, and has has two working modes, a Wizard mode and a standard mode.

The Schedule feature allows you to backup the email database daily, weekly or at any chosen time period. The email database can be saved on one computer and restored to another, thus making Amic Email Backup not just a backup utility but also a synchronization tool.

Unlike other email backup utilities Amic Email Backup works with the top 9 popular Email Clients such as MS Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Netscape Messenger, IncrediMail and PocoMail.
