Support User Defined Variables in Paths

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am currently looking for a app that will help automate my backup 
procedures.  I am a repair Tech and would like an app to auto populate with 
certain paths no matter which computer I run it on (as I may run it on 
various client computers.)  These are 1 time backups, usually prior to a 
restore or computer replacement. This app appears to do just that but I 
have to customize it on every computer I use.  Can you add functionality 
for config file and variables so that I could say something like:

%AllUsers%\%Documents%
%AllUsers%\%Outlook%
%AllUsers%\%OutlookExpress%

Where %Documents% can be auto populated per OS (%c:%\documents and 
settings\%user%\My documents / %c:\%\users\%user%\document {for 
vista/win7})

the user could define most of these variables by hand so that it could be 
more flexible for things like Quick Books and such.  And along those lines, 
could a file type be included as well so we could search for 
%ProgramFiles%\Quickbooks\*.qbb

Thanks!

As long as the folders you want to backup are all under your home folder, you 
should be fine.

Choose "Export Settings..." from the "File" menu to save your settings to an 
XML file.  If you are very careful, you 
can even manually edit the XML file in a text editor.  Each occurrence of 
"[%HOME FOLDER%]" in the file will get 
expanded to your actual home folder when you import the settings.
