.SH NAME
   Ukopp - copy files to USB stick or other disk or disk-like device
 
.SH SYNOPSIS
   \fBukopp\fR [ \fB-nogui\fR ] [ \fB-job\fR | \fB-run\fR ] \fIjobfile\fR
 
.SH 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). 
 
.SH 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.
