ZipBackUp

If you are working with sensitive files on a daily basis, then there is a good chance that you want to make sure that it is safe from accidental deletion, malware infection and other data loss incidents.

ZipBackUp is a tool designed to help you create backups of your important documents, multimedia or emails that you can upload directly to the network drives, cloud or FTP server.

The program comes with a user-friendly and clean interface that is unlikely to give you any troubles, regardless of your experience with similar applications. Despite the name, it is important to note that the app creates archives that feature the 7z extension. Consequentially, make sure that you have an archive tool that allows you to open them.

As indicated by the developer, the utility is not a solution for creating a restore point for the entire system. In fact, it is a backup solution that addresses anyone who needs to create backups of the files that you do not want to lose, such as emails, work-related files, documents or images, for example.

The highlight of the application stems from its convenience to upload the newly created backups to your preferred storage solution. As you can notice, when creating a new backup job, you can set the location on an FTP or SFTP server, but also on folders that are set as default for the cloud or external drives.

It is worth mentioning that you need to make sure the files you are processing are not open, as you can encounter errors, an issue particularly true for the Microsoft Office suite. Nevertheless, if you are scheduling a backup, then you can also configure the tool to stop the app that uses the files and have things running smoothly.

Considering that it enables you to create backups you upload directly to the storage solution of choice, ZipBackUp is a set-and-forget tool that addresses files you work with regularly.
