MineBack (free) has been rewritten and undergone massive visual and structural improvement.
Since a great deal of effort has gone into the new version, the new release(s) of MineBack are now available as two purchasable products MineBack (Professional) and MineBack Ultimate.
The original freeware version of MineBack (Hence forth refered to as MineBack (free) will continue to remain available for download here at no cost. However, if you like the free version, please seriously consider buying one of the new versions :).
Registering for a purchasable version of MineBack will also entitle you to ongoing product support via email and I would be happy to try to make improvements based on the suggestions of registered users.
MineBack (free): MineBack (free) is a Windows .NET application which automatically manages the backup of your minecraft World (for Single Player Minecraft). It is a freeware utility, but if people like it they might wish to upgrad to MineBack (Professional) or MineBack Ultimate which offer a polished MineBack experience.
Features:
-
Smart Automatic Backup - Detects when the highlighted/selected World has changed and makes an automatic backup every 5 minuets of play time (or user specified interval). Does not backup the world if the world is not being played (so if you exit the client and leave the backup running no more backups are created).
-
Safe Restore - When you restore your world to a previous state, an automatic recovery backup of the overwritten world is made for you.
-
Backup Descriptions - Backups are automatically described, and, optionaly you may add your own custom backup description.
-
Intuitive User Interface - Click the world, click Backup or check the automatic backup check box. Play MineCraft.
-
Archive Backup Cull - Select a World and click "cull" to automatically have all backups older than 1 month deleted for that World. Rest asured if ALL backups are that old you will always be left with the latest backup.

I've been playing MineCraft for a while now and really enjoy the game. I know there are MineCraft backup solutions out there, but I wanted one which was fire and forget.
I trust this solution for my backup needs. I don't however offer any guarentees, except to say that I trust this software and rely on it for my backups.
