O&O FileBackup

If you are handling sensitive data and want to make sure that you won't lose or corrupt it, you should look for a backup tool. This type of app is common and wide-spread nowadays, so you have a large pool to choose from. For example, O&O FileBackup, a quick and reliable app that can take care of your files and folders and offer some other helpful features as well.

At first glance, the program may look like there are no other elements to it than the first screen that prompts you to select the targeted folder. However, if you look closely in the upper-right corner, you can notice the cog wheel-like symbol and several other info buttons. Click on that wheel and a more complex tab will open. The new tab contains all the settings and features you can use for your backups, neatly placed and with the necessary info attached for each element.

One of the most prevalent features of O&O FileBackup is the scheduled backup system. If you go to the last tab within settings, Scheduling, you can set up the day and the minimum number of files required to start the backup. A small tracker is also displayed there to let you know when the last scheduled run was executed, and when the next one will commence.

You can backup data directly from the Cloud. First, you have to activate the function and then, you may be required to download the files first. Also, in Filters, you can exclude or include file formats affected by the backups, so if you want to isolate specific files, you can do that from there.

Even if the package comes as an executable, there is no other information written on your system except the backups themselves. Just run the EXE each time you need to perform a backup and leave it active in the background for scheduled processes.

O&O FileBackup is a smart tool that lets you back up your files manually, and automatically as well. The intuitive interface and well-explained features make this app suitable for users that have never dealt with data backup before.
