V1.15 ZIP function added, there are 3 different modes to use the ZIP backup :
1a) Full backup, all selected items are copied to a single ZIP archive
1b) Full backup, for each selected directory a ZIP archive is created.
2) Sequential backup added. Each time a new backup with datestamp is created.
The difference with Full backup is, that each time a new backup is created
with all selected directories and files in it
The standard uncompressed backup is not changed but is renamed to Mirror backup.
With Mirror backup only the latest version of a file is copied, so the previous
version is overwritten. This is not a specific problem of Idlebackup and this
can be overcome by using now the Sequential backup. (Zipped)
V1.14e Minor bugfix; When increasing the value of 'Countdown till backup' greater
then 995 it became 1.0, now the high value is limited to 995.
V1.14d Bugfix V1.14c was not ok, now solved.
V1.14c Bugfix: If in automatic mode one or more copy errors were occurring, then
at the end of the backup they were shown on an error screen. The problem was that the
automatic backup counter keeps on running, and tries again to open the error screen,
what led to error message "cannot make a visible window modal"
V1.14b Minor bug; When windows autostart was used, at startup an error message came
saying "cannot change visible in onshow or onhide" After accept ok.
Minor Bug: spacebar did stop a started backup

half white.half green (= backup pending). Solved now green.
