On the one hand it helps you to select your important files for backup, which results in a short time needed for a backup.
SmartBackup is a tool that allows you synchronize your backup source.
On the other hand it automatically keeps your backups up to date and does copy only files which really have changed since the last backup.
Additionally it allows you to synchronize your backup source and destination, which makes it easy to keep your data files and documents on your PC and your laptop synchronized. SmartBackup offers detailed options to specify which files should be copied. You can also specify an FTP Server or an ZIP File as backup destination
Here are some key features of "SmartBackup":
· The directory structure is preserved on the backup volume.
· Files which are already present on the backup volume and did not change will not be copied. This results in extremely short backup times if backups are done regularly. An Explorer like interface makes SmartBackup easy to use.
