NAME

      Ukopp - copy files to USB stick or other disk or disk-like device

SYNOPSIS

      ukopp [ -nogui ] [ -job | -run ] jobfile

DESCRIPTION

      Ukopp is a graphical menu-driven program operating in its own
      window. Ukopp copies the files and directories specified in the
      job file to disk or disk-like media (e.g. USB stick).

OVERVIEW

      Ukopp works incrementally: only files that are not already identical
      on  the  target  media  are  copied (new and modified files or files
   newly
      added to the backup job). Files/directories to  include  or  exclude
   can
      be selected from the file system hierarchy, using a GUI navigator.
      Specifications are saved in a job file which can be re-edited and/or
      executed. Ukopp can be run in batch mode using the -nogui option.
      Ukopp  can  optionally  keep  old file versions instead of replacing
   them
      with updated versions. The retention time and/or the number of old
      versions to  keep  can  be  specified  for  each  selected  file  or
   directory.
      File  owners and permissions are retained even if the copy media has
   a
      Microsoft file system.

      Summary of functionality:
      - Copy files incrementally with optional file version retention.
      - Three media verification modes: full, incremental, compare.
      - Report disk:backup differences in detail or summary form.
      - Select and restore files from backup media or use drag and drop.
