Tried and Tested

We are frequently asked to recommend software and utilities to do one thing or another.
We have decided to offer some of the utilities that we use and recommend.


automate cPanel backups
Site Backup CP

Site Backup CP is an easy to use tool that makes it quick and simple to back up websites to your hard drive. It is designed specifically for small to medium-sized sites that are managed using cPanel. Allows creation of automatic pre-scheduled backups.


Award winning data compression utility for Windows
BitZipper

BitZipper is an award winning data compression utility for Windows. The home directory backups created by cPanelŽ and Site Backup CP are created as Unix format compressed archives (similar to Zip files, but using a different internal format.) You cannot open these archives using any tool provided with Windows. There are several third-party tools that allow you to open these archives and view or extract individual files or folders, though some of them have problems with the archives created by cPanel and may report them as being corrupt. We recommend using BitZipper.


ClipMate Clipboard Extender
ClipMate

The native clipboard in Windows is great for cutting and pasting a single item at a time, but if you want to move a series of items, or save items for later use, then you need ClipMate!

Rather than working with one piece of clipboard data at a time, ClipMate enhances the native clipboard functionality by remembering all items (both text and graphic) that are copied to the clipboard and storing them in "collections" for later pasting.


Aurora Password Manager

Aurora Password Manager is a full-featured password storage and management solution. This software will store your sensitive data such as website and e-mail passwords, credit card account data, cellular phone PIN codes, etc. in a secure database encrypted with a 256-bit Advanced Encryption Algorithm, a standard adopted by the U.S. Department of Defense that would take at least 500 years to crack. To increase security even more, the password database can be stored on removable media (such as a USB flash drive) and connected to the computer only when needed.
