EasyBackup

It’s always a good idea to have an extra copy of your important files. A backup can prevent loss of data, and there are various ways in which data can be saved this way. For instance, EasyBackup comes with the means to help you create a safe copy of any kind and amount of data.

First of all, the application relies on Java Runtime Environment to function, so you might want to make sure it’s already on your computer. Once installed, the application deploys several desktop icons, one to access the general setup and configuration of backup operations, while the others to start them and either logoff or shutdown the PC.

You might end up a little confused at first, mostly because the main window only acts as the list of backups and doesn’t hold any options to create new ones. There’s an associated tray icon which is actually where you find the option to create a new backup, as well as several more.

Choosing to add a backup brings up a new window. Here, you go through several steps, such as safeguard which requires name and designation, file or source file, destination folder, as well as some additional backup options, such as file filters and overwrite permissions.

A backup can include any type of file and folder. The main set of options let you archive the entire backup file, create a secure archive by including a password with AES encryption, include subfolders in the backup, overwrite existing items, and delete original files when done.

Multiple backup sessions can be created. These can be set to automatically run at a regular interval of days. You can also start a session right away, with options to also logout or shutdown the computer when done.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that EasyBackup is an application which can be used to keep important files safe. Backups can be automatically handled at regular interface, and the whole operation is quite easy to configure overall.
