Open Source C# Backup Software

RoboMirror's aim is to provide a very simple and user-centered GUI for Robocopy to allow for easy synchronization of two directory trees, e.g., to perform a robust incremental backup, both locally (e.g., to an external hard disk) and across the network. Additionally, RoboMirror supports volume shadow copies. By using shadow copies, all files can be copied, including files locked by running processes (Outlook, SQL Server...).

IMPORTANT!!! Since this is new software, your web browser, operating system or even possibly antivirus software may report security alerts against this tool. Please ignore that messages until this tool gets widely spread. This program is highly inspired by Win32 Disk Imager and sort of copies it's function. However, I've added some features, like verification of readed/writed image file and the most important is on the fly support for zipped images. Another features worth mentioning are simultaneous write to multiple devices at one time or wiping of device filesystem and partitions. I would be happy to hear your feedback and I'm ready to listen to your suggestions. Feel free to request new features, if I found them interesting I will definitely implement them. Requires .NET Framework 4.6.1 (download here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=671729 ) Supports Windows 7 and newer. If you need older Windows support, use Win32 Disk Imager. Please write a review.
