yCopy

yCopy is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you back up your sensitive data by creating a copy of the folder that you choose, and perform synchronization operations for deleting files that are no longer present in the source folder.

It is important to mention that the program is not a data recovery tool, and it is only able to copy files from one location to another.

The program sports a clean and straightforward interface that allows you to carry out most operations with minimum effort.

You are required to specify the source and destination directories before running a backup operation on your system, enable the synchronization function for erasing all items from the destination path, as well as opt for an incremental backup mode.

What’s more, you can view the task progress in a dedicated panel (job progress, cache memory, cache items, and the current file), save a task as a template for uploading it in your future projects, as well as set up the parameters related to the cache, namely maximum size of the file and memory.

Since there aren’t any many dedicated parameters, even rookies can master the process with minimum effort. During our testing we have noticed that yCopy carries out a task quickly, and no errors showed up throughout the entire process.

As it would be expected from such a small utility, it remains light on the system resources, so it doesn’t burden the overall performance of the computer, nor interfere with other programs’ functionality.

To sum things up, yCopy seems to be the right choice in case you are looking for a simple-to-use application that comes bundled with only a few configuration settings for helping you copy files. It can be easily configured and installed by all types of users, regardless of their experience level.
