C:\ITD\TrywareDk\W7-Backup\Bin\W7-Backup.exe does the following:

1. If the C:\ITD\TrywareDk\W7-Backup\_____Backup exists, you are told how old your earlier backup is, and get an option to overwrite it. If you decide to overwrite it, you get an option to make an extra backup first in C:\ITD\TrywareDk\W7-Backup\_____Backup_OLD
   
   
2. Copy all files from C:\ITD\TrywareDk and subfolders to
   C:\ITD\TrywareDk\W7-Backup\_____Backup\DriveC\ITD\TrywareDk
   
   
3. If any of the Windows Tools includes thirdparty installations, like e.g. W7-PsPadEditorCapaLib, then copy all files from C:\<ProgramFiles>\<ThirdpartyProgramFolder> to
   C:\ITD\TrywareDk\W7-Backup\_____Backup\DriveC\<ProgramFiles>
   
   
4. Removes *.bak, *.lnk, *.bin, *.bmp, *.chm, *.chw, *.dat, *.exe, *.dll, *.pdf and *.txt from all subfolders of C:\ITD\TrywareDk\W7-Backup\_____Backup
   
   
5. Using C:\ITD\TrywareDk\W7-Freeware\Bin\7z.exe makes a W7-Backup.zip.txt file located in
   C:\ITD\TrywareDk\W7-Backup\Bin

I didn't make a restore program, because it's so simple. Just use Explorer.exe to copy the folder/subfolders from C:\ITD\TrywareDk\W7-Backup\_____Backup\DriveC  to C:\
