Z-DBackup

Z-DBackup is a software application that is specialized in creating backups which can be saved to your computer, CD/DVD/Blu-ray, USB flash drive, or network drive. You are allowed to save data to TRAVAN, VXA, SLR, MLR, QIC, LTO, Ultrium, AIT, DDS, and DAT tapes using the add-on module, Z-DATdump.

You can build up a list with the backup tasks. You can make use of the built-in wizard for configuring a new backup by simply following a step-by-step approach.

Advanced users may skip this step and set up the parameters on their own. The configuration settings may be exported to a file and password-protected.

There’s also support for an online help manual in case you want to find out more about the program’s saving capabilities.

Z-DBackup allows you to specify a name and select the directories that you want to save or choose between several preset destinations (e.g. Documents and Settings, My Pictures, My Documents, Thunderbird, Google Chrome, Downloads).

What’s more, you can create archives (ZDB, ZIP or EXE file format) and generate 1:1 file copies (items are copied individually) or synchronize folders by deleting or keeping data in the destination directory.

The tool offers you the option to choose between three types of backups, namely normal (all files are copied to the target destination), differential (only file changes are saved since the last full backup) and incremental (file changes are copied since the last full or incremental backup).

You can choose the backup location (you can also transfer data to FTP servers), create a backup shortcut so you can easily activate a job, shut down the computer at the end of the task, as well as schedule the entire process.

You can restore, view, and delete backup contents, perform a test to check out if the backup process is carried out successfully, access a log file which includes detailed information about all actions and possible errors, and check the integrity of the saved files.

Z-DBackup comes with plenty of features for satisfying the needs of rookies and professionals alike. There are a lot of comprehensive tweaks included in the package for customizing backup data, so you need to invest some extra time into discovering them.
