User-friendly and free personal backup software for scheduling the synchronization of files and folders locally or to network locations including FTP servers.
We all know that making backups of your data is very important, especially when hard drives can crash at any time.. but many of the solutions available are rather expensive. Not the case with Personal Backup.
Personal Backup is a very comprehensive backup solution offered by a German developer. It includes many of the excellent features you would expect in more expensive software such as backing files and folders up on a schedule.
One of the great things with Personal Backup is that you can automatically create backups of your filesystem and upload them to an FTP server, or secure FTP server if you wish.
This backup app comes with 8 different modes for backing up; one of the more used options is that which creates backups of office files.
Scheduling backups is rather simple and you may opt to perform the backup routine at a specific scheduled time.
