NTI Backup Now Advanced Edition

NTI Backup Now Advanced Edition is a professional application that helps you backup, restore and migrate the files and folders from your computer.

Although it comes packed with many dedicated parameters for carrying out such tasks, the program sports a clean and straightforward interface that allows users to opt for one of the three backup options, namely continuous, file-based or drive-based mode.

The continuous mode gives you the possibility to include or exclude the selected file types from the backup process, namely audio files (MP3, WMA, WAV, OGG), pictures (JPG, TIF, BMP, GIF), videos (MPG, AVI, MOV, WMV), documents (e.g. DOC, XLS, PPT, HTM, TXT, PDF), and custom types.

The file-based backup method offers direct access to the files and folders stored in your computer, and you can easily select the ones to include in the process. What’s more, it provides features for backing up an entire hard drive and removable drives as well.

You are required to specify a saving directory, select the number of previous file versions to be saved, name the backup job, and add a short description. It is possible to schedule the backup operations by selecting the period of time (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly), or program them for later execution.

When it comes to restoring options, you need to select a backup job or browse for the backup files, and set a restore point. Plus, the application lets you compare the original files with their backed-up version and migrate files to the specified location.

Other important features worth mentioning give you the possibility to view system information (hardware resources, components, software environment) and drive details, create bootable CDs/DVDs, and perform tests to analyze the performance of the hard drive and media types with the use of a graph. You can also create CD labels by selecting from different themes and embedding text messages and images.

Overall, NTI Backup Now Advanced Edition proves to be a reliable software utility that offers an intuitive working environment and many useful features for helping you backup data efficiently.
