EasyBackup

EasyBackup is a highly intuitive piece of software that enables you to back up important data to a safe location, in case of unexpected data loss, corruption or accidental deletion. It is aided by a powerful configuration set that lets you personalize each aspect of a backup job in detail.

Adopting a modern and minimalistic interface, the tool gives you the possibility to create a new job by following several simple steps in a wizard, or to open an existing one to use the settings already applied there.

Firstly, it is necessary to define the scope, namely the types of files to take into account for the operation. You can select one or more partitions, music, videos or pictures, Microsoft Office files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Live Mail) along with Mozilla Thunderbird messages. It is also possible to include any custom files or folders, or files by format.

Secondly, you can define backup settings regarding the name, password protection, automated mode and frequency, together with the storage location (local, removable or network location).

Multiple tasks can be added to the manager, and you can execute any of them with one click. The software utility supports incremental backup mode, which means that after it creates a full backup, it will update it only by adding new files and not by replacing the existing ones (in order to reduce job duration).

When it comes to restoring a backup, you can either copy all files and folders, or just extract the ones you want. What's more, you can select between multiple versions after consulting their timestamps, view properties (storage location, size, frequency, protection, last time and date), as well as remove any of them from the list.

No error dialogs were shown in our tests, and the application didn't hang or crash. It executes backup jobs swiftly while remaining light on system resources. Taking into account its advanced settings intuitively organized in an easy-to-navigate wizard, EasyBackup should be able to suit everyone's tastes when it comes to quickly backing up files without having to configure overly complicated options.
