FogMirror

One of the safest ways to make sure your data does not get lost or corrupted in case of an error is to take frequent backups. FogMirror is one of the utilities you can rely on to help you speed up these tasks.

The application comes with a user-friendly graphic interface, and the main window allows you to add one or more jobs to be performed.

When adding a new task, you can assign it a relevant title, then choose the source and the target folders. When it comes to selecting the source and the target directories, you can choose local folders, or you can enter the credentials of FTP, FTPS or WebDAV servers.

Next, you need to define the type of action you are interested in, be it mirroring, copying or cloning, then take the time to alter the default settings as you see fit.

Regardless of the method of backup you prefer, you can activate simple timestamp comparison and force file deletion instead of overwriting, as well as enable multi-threading and caching.

Moreover, FogMirror makes it possible for you to create lists with the files and folders that you want to exclude or include in your backup.

The final step before completing the configuration is to specify if you want to encrypt or compress your files. A handy function of this app is that it does not password-protect only the files’ contents, but also their names or the folders’ names.

The downside is that it does not support scheduling, a feature that would automate any backup you need to perform.

FogMirror helps you simplify the process of creating backups for your documents, and you can even create icons for certain jobs, so as to launch them with a single mouse click.
