The thesis describes the implementation of an effective and easily manageable backup system for OS MS Windows XP and newer. Emphasis is put on the simplicity of defining objects to be backed up. Effectiveness has been attained by backing only those files up, which has changed since last backup cycle. Unlike most other backup systems, delta files are used during transferring into remote server. The main contribution of this thesis is unique mechanism used to create copies of old versions of files. These are created by moving the files itself into temporary storage, when the request to overwrite them arrives. Moved old versions of files are used as an input for creating delta files. Designed solution contains user interface which enable comfortable backup of user data onto a removable disk. However it may be used also as a base for backup onto a remote computer. The description of file system filter development among others summarizes many issues and best practices for developing in kernel mode and may be used as an introduction into this area.
