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.

OPTIONS

	  Command line options:
	  [ -job ] jobfile	     open job file for editing
	  [ -nogui ] -run jobfile    execute a job file

SEE ALSO

	  The online user manual is available using the menu Help > contents.
	  This manual explains Ukopp operation in great detail.
