1) Backup your dataNo one knows when your hard disk might fail or when you might have a data loss in general. If your data is worth anything at all, its worth backing up.With MaintainZip, you can easily backup your important data as ZIP files to other hard disks in the network. This way, your data will be available on multiple hard disks reducing the chance for a data loss. The more hard disks you backup to, the more safety you have. The probability that all the hard disks would fail(or have a data loss) at the same time is almost nil.You can keep testing the ZIP files to ensure that your backup really exists. Both zipping and testing can be scheduled to run at a particular time daily or weekly via the tiny stand-alone built-in scheduler. Zipping can also be done at system startup.You can also backup to CDs/Zip disks and you can schedule that also.(To backup on to CDs, you need the software(such as DirectCD) through which you can read from or write to the CD much like a hard disk)2) Maintain ZIP filesApart from the backup purpose, you can use MaintainZip to create, test, extract, span, re-assemble and delete ZIP files i.e., just to maintain ZIP files.
