Portable Snap Backup

We all know that the Internet is a place filled with interesting and fascinating facts, however, there are also people, websites, and utilities that can harm your computer. As a solution to them, security programs were developed to keep our system protected from harmful apps and pop-ups.

It's also recommended to save our data to external hard drives to have copies, in case issues are encountered, and the information is deleted for various reasons. Portable Snap Backup is one of the many apps out there that comes lightweight not to complicate the process and with few handy options.

As the name suggests, the utility doesn't require an installation, and can be put on a USB flash pen and used on any PC. It also doesn't create entries in the registry, nor takes up too much space. In order for it to work smoothly, Java needs to be installed on the hard drive.

It's wrapped in a neatly structured and user-friendly interface divided into three main areas, the source, destination, and log panels, each with specific functions. If multiple users plan on using the tool, it offers the option to create individual profiles, by entering the corresponding name.

To start, select the desired files and folders, by browsing their location, the backup output path, along with the directory name, and hit the button. The processing time may vary from a computer to another, based on how powerful it is. Plus, make sure you have enough space on the disk, as you may have to start again.

A status bar displays the total amount of records, while in the log, you can view all the compressed items and their location. The backup is saved in ZIP format. From the menu, it's possible to change the language interface, the export and import properties, as well as pick the file spacer, and the date/time format for the output.

Taking everything into account, Portable Snap Backup is a reliable and practical program that comes in handy for everyone who needs to backup their documents, images, music, or other related files, quick and easy.
