NoProb Backup

It’s always a good idea to keep an extra copy of important files, especially somewhere else other than your hard disk drive. This doesn’t really imply more than using operating system copy and paste functions, but the process can be enhanced when relying on specialized tools like NoProb Backup which can take care of selecting important folders.

First of all, you need to make sure that .NET Framework is installed on your computer, even though it’s a default feature in modern Windows iterations. However, the application itself is good to go right after download, so it can also be carried around on a thumb drive to always have a backup tool at hand.

All it has to offer is easy to identify, thanks to the compact, but intuitive arrangement of functions across the interface. Two backup types are at your disposal, with a dedicated save location, as well as a list of directories which are targeted for the backup operation.

Choosing the basic backup method automatically loads several important locations on your computer such as desktop elements, documents, music, pictures, videos, and Internet Explorer favorites. This method prevents you from adding additional directories to the list.

On the other hand, you can choose the standard backup method. No folder is targeted by default, so you need to rely on the browse dialog to manually build the list of items. There’s the possibility to have all subfolders included in the process. The destination can either be on your HDD or a removable drive. When done, a log window shows up to let you view process information, which can also be copied to clipboard.

NoPob Backup is a practical tool which can save your important information when moving to a new computer, or deciding to reinstall Windows. Although there’s no possibility to schedule backup sessions, the two modes make it possible to choose common directories, or create your own list.
