Backup4all Standard is a configurable backup utility with intuitive interface (explorer style). Performs full, differential and mirror backups. Has wizards for backup & restore, powerful file filters and internal scheduler.

Backup4all Standard can be used to build standard zip files or exact copies of files, spans to multiple disks, keeps track of file versions, has built-in CD/DVD burner, backs up open files, has a command line version and zip password protection support.

Backup4all Standard protects your valuable data from partial or total loss by automating backup tasks, password protecting and compressing it to save storage space. Using Backup4all Standard you can easily backup to any local or network drive, backup to CD/DVD/Blu-ray, or other removable media (such as USB drives).

Backup4all Standard can backup open/locked files and it can perform full, differential, and mirror backups. When defining a backup you can also set file filters and schedule the backup for automatic execution.

Once a backup is performed, you can see what files have been changed since the last backup or you can read the statistics about the next backup execution. You can use the context menu from the tree to run standard actions associated with the file type.

You can filter files to be restored. Backup4all Standard tests the backup files automatically to ensure the backup is safe and correctly executed (uses CRC32). Backup4all Standard works with any drive letter, including mapped network drives and UNC paths. It comes with its own built-in CD/DVD burning support.
