FBackup 5.4.779 | 58.3 MB
Sometimes, the inevitable
happens and your computer needs a hard disk format or, even worse, you’re faced
with a hardware failure. In order to prevent losing your entire data
collection, you should start creating backups. FBackup is an application
designed to help you backup your personal files and protect them. These can be
saved on your hard drives or on your local network. By accessing the app’s
“Properties”, you can also choose to save your files to an external hard drive
or a removable device. FBackup allows you to create a full copy or only create
a mirror for your files. Furthermore, you can encrypt the data and add a
password. This means that only you restore your backups.
Features:
It’s free (as in speech, not
beer):
FBackup is a backup software
free for both commercial and personal use. This means that you can save some
money by not having to buy another backup program.
Automatic backups:
You define a backup job, set
it to run automatically, and forget about it. FBackup will automatically run
the backup at the scheduled date, so you have the benefit not only of having
your data protected, but you'll also save precious time.
Backup with standard zip
compression:
When using the full backup
type, the sources will be archived using standard zip compression. FBackup uses
ZIP64 compression, which means that it can create zip files over 2GB in size.
Furthermore, you can protect the zip file by requiring a password for
extracting data from it.
Exact copies of files:
If you don't want to have
the files stored in one zip file, FBackup can make exact copies of the backup
sources. Since FBackup will also back up empty folders, you can use this backup
type to create in the destination a "mirror" copy of the original
files.
Run actions before/after
backup:
For each backup job you can
define an action to execute before or after the backup. As an example, you can
set a "Clear backup" action before the backup runs, so that all the
previous backed up files will be clearead before loading the new ones. As an
after-backup action, you can set it to stand by, log off, hibernate or even
shut down the computer once the backup successfully finished.
Easy to use:
The two main functions of a
backup program are the backup and restore operations. FBackup makes them easy
for you, by offering friendly wizards. You start a new backup wizard, select
what, where, how and when to backup, and the backup is ready to run. If you
have to restore files, you'll open a restore wizard and it will ask you where
you want the files to be restored.
Automatic updates:
FBackup automatically checks
for updates weekly, so you'll know when a new version is released. The option
to check for updates can be disabled, but we recommend to let it enabled so
that FBackup will be up-to-date.
Multiple backup
destinations. By default the location where your backups will be stored is the
local windows partition. To be sure you have a secure backup, you'll need to
store the backups on other destinations supported by FBackup (such as an external
USB/Firewire drive, or on a mapped network drive). This way, if your computer
would suffer a hardware failure, you'll have your data safe on an external
location.
Backup plugins:
You can load plugins for
backing up or restoring specific programs' settings or other custom data (like
game saves, email data, etc.). Once loaded in FBackup, these plugins will add
in the Predefined Backups list the sources needed to be backed up for that
particular program.
Backup open files:
If a file is in use by
another program at the time of the backup, FBackup will still be able to back
up that file, because it uses the Volume Shadow Service that Windows provides.
