Backup4all Standard 4.2 build 156

Backup4all Standard 4.2 build 156 is a powerful tool designed to protect your valuable data from partial or total loss by automating backup tasks, password protecting and compressing it to save storage space.

Using Backup4all you can easily backup to any local or network drive, backup to FTP (with support for SSL encryption, proxy server, passive mode), backup to CD/DVD, or other removable media (such as USB drives).

Backup4all can backup open/locked files and it can perform full, differential, incremental and mirror backups. When defining a backup you can also set file filters and schedule the backup for automatic execution. Once a backup is performed, you can see what files have been changed since the last backup or you can read the statistics about the next backup execution. You can use the context menu from the tree to run standard actions associated with the file type.There is also the option to run predefined backups, such as My Documents, My Pictures or Outlook Express emails and settings.
