Ev-Secure Backup

Creating secure data backups is the best way to ensure you won’t lose important files for various reasons, such as accidental deletion or malware attacks. Making manual backups is possible, but you can make the job a lot easier with a specialized utility.

Ev-Secure Backup is a portable application that enables you to compress and encrypt your files, and then restore them at any time if necessary. It isn’t a particularly advanced backup solution, but it is quite easy to use.

When you launch the application for the first time, some folders will already be available in the list, such as the Documents, Pictures and Music directories. You will also be able to backup browser history, bookmarks and passwords.

Of course, the program also allows you to add other folders or files to the list. Once imported, you can specify which items should be included in the backup, as well as provide a custom name for the list.

When creating a backup, you will need to provide a password in order to encrypt it. No details are provided about the encryption method, however, and no alternatives are available.

Ev-Secure Backup gives users the option of compressing their files when backing them up. Naturally, the operation is going to take quite a bit longer if you enable this feature.

Once you’ve created a backup, you can extract the data at any time by just opening the backup file and providing your password. The files will be saved in the application directory.

To sum up, Ev-Secure Backup offers a fairly limited set of features, so it definitely isn’t one of the more advanced solutions of its kind. Nevertheless, it can prove useful for those who need a basic, easy-to-use backup program.
