USB Drive Backup

USB Drive Backup is a handy utility to have around if you often store personal data on USB drives and you want to make sure all of it is gone once you copied the files to your PC.

The GUI is highly intuitive and neatly organized, as all the settings are displayed within the same main window. Also, the app automatically detects all available USB drives and you can switch to a different one without too much hassle.

You get to choose the format for the output image file, be it IMG, ZIP or 7zip, while also selecting its preferred location. You can change the block size and modify the label of your connected device.

Once you have extracted the files you needed from your USB drive, you can go one step further and perform a thorough clean to ensure that no unauthorized people can ever retrieve your information.

This can be achieved thanks to the built-in formatting options packed within USB Drive Backup. You can specify the target file system (NTFS, FAT, FAT32, EXFAT), along with the allocation unit size.

USB Drive Backup offers you the possibility to enable compression or go for a quick format if time is not on your side. However, if you do have some minutes to spare, it is recommended to use the in-depth formatting.

To wrap it up, USB Drive Backup can of great use to those who use their removable USB thumb drives to transfer important files from one computer to another, and wish to backup these files within seconds. Optionally, users can also format their device after they have completed the backup, thus making sure their privacy is protected and nobody can restore any data even if they use specialized recovery software.
