FileFort

FileFort is designed to assist users in creating secure backups of their files or folders. The program creates self-extracting EXE or ZIP files.

The application supports the common local options (USB, CD, DVD or another folder on the disk), but can also store documents on the Cloud (Google Drive, Google Docs, Amazon S3 or Dropbox).

These options should satisfy most tastes. If not, the utility also allows saving to a remote FTP, or to a network shared folder. Casual and advanced users should find the array of options more than generous!

Three types of backups can be performed: full, historical (saves everything, while keeping a reserve for each month) and incremental (transfers only files that are new or that have been changed).

A nice touch is the variety of file types that can be generated. The storage medium can be either a BKZ file (program-specific), or one of the more common options, like a self-extracting EXE or a ZIP archive.

One interesting feature is file inclusion or exclusion. If a folder contains many files of multiple formats, one can specifically exclude certain documents. Thus, the source folder can retain all its files, but the backup task can be targeted towards just certain files.

The software is also capable of scheduling tasks (daily or weekly, and users can specify the starting time down to the second!)

The interface is clean and well-designed. Operations are clearly displayed in a list in the main window. Destinations folders and schedule status columns allow users to quickly check essential backup information.

In conclusion, FileFort is a great solution for anyone seeking a quick backup solution. Casual users will find it very easy to create local restore points, while more advanced options, like cloud backup are also available.
