CloudBackupXL

CloudBackupXL is a lightweight application designed to help you create backups of the important files on your computer quickly and painlessly.

Following a fast and uneventful installation, you need to take a couple of minutes to define the backups that you want to create. In case this is the first time you are using this type of programs, then do no hesitate to check out the Getting Started tutorial from within the application.

The program comes with a minimalistic, yet clean and structured interface that displays details about the folder selected for the backup. Not only does it allow you to preview data such as the number of files and encryption type, but you can also view the types of files being stored in the cloud. While it only includes four categories, you can determine if you have audio, video, photos or other types of files at a first glance.

You will be happy to learn that creating your first backup is a straightforward process that entails specifying a few details. To be more precise, you are required to provide a name for the backup, specify the destination folders and files, the preferred encryption algorithm, buffer size and number of iterations.

At the same time, you can review the supported file extensions and add some of your own as well as select the maximum filesize from the dedicated list. While you can create manual backups each time you add files to the storage folder, you can also configure the app to create automatic backups based on a schedule.

In other words, you can set the app to create backups any day of the week at specific hours to make sure your files are being added to the cloud service of choice. On a side note, the app currently supports only three cloud services and it would have been nice if you could add your own storage solutions.

If you are using Dropbox, Google Drive or OnDrive as your cloud storage solutions and you would like to simplify the file backup process, then perhaps CloudBackupXL could lend you a hand.
