Resco Backup is an excellent backup program for Palm OS handhelds/smartphones, it scored really well in the last TamsPalm review. Anyways, Jan Slodicka of Resco just gave us a sneak peak at a few of the features in the next release:

Backup sets:
1 News from the Resco Backup front 2 News from the Resco Backup front
- Modified design (less used features are under the combo box Actions)
- Possibility to assign icons and notes (first notes line – when nonempty – is displayed in place of date)
- Backup set error state (e.g. interrupted due to card problem or crash) is marked by color
- Pinning means the backup set is taken out from the scheduler update mechanism (scheduler does a cyclic update of a given number of backup sets)

FTP:
3 News from the Resco Backup front
Displays both local and remote backup sets as indicated by the icons.
I.e. each row represents a backup set that is either local, remote or both – i.e.
local set copied to FTP.
The dialog allows for upload/download, but also for:
- Diff (fast check against a backup set description file)
- Update (Copies only the modified files)

What do you think?

P.s. Remember: you heard it here, first!
