So Cobian Backup can be better described as a "Scheduler for security copies".Ĭobian Backup supports several methods of compression and strong encryption. Cobian Backup is not an usual backup application: it only copies your files and folders in original or compressed mode to other destination, creating a security copy as a result. The program uses very few resources and can be running on the background on your system, checking your backup schedule and executing your backups when necessary. FTP backup is also supported in both directions (download and upload).Ĭobian Backup exists in two different versions: application and service. All in all, it's an excellent choice for home users and small businesses.Cobian Backup is a multi-threaded program that can be used to schedule and backup your files and directories from their original location to other directories/drives in the same computer or other computer in your network.

It's hard not to like that SyncBack doesn't use many system resources when working in the background, and backups can be set to export their logs to an HTML file for easy viewing. You can control the way files are compared and selected for backup: the program comes with ready-made profiles to make the process as easy as possible. It lets you define multiple scheduled backup jobs so you can just set 'em and forget 'em, allowing users to create specific backup jobs for certain folders or file types. Recovering from a drive loss is also cinch, with a convenient restore tool that replicates folder trees along with the files in them. Surprisingly flexible for a free program, SyncBack can save your files anywhere: on external hard drives, in ZIP archives, on network drives, on CDs (using UDF), or transfer them via FTP. This straightforward backup utility makes it a snap to safeguard and synchronize your files, and its freeware price just sweetens the deal.
