For example, you can select 'Clear backup' before the backup runs, so that all the previous backed up files will be cleared before loading the new ones. So it's not only a file backup software.įor each backup job, you can define an action to execute before or after the backup. Since FBackup will also back up empty folders, you can use this backup type to create in the destination a 'mirror' copy of the original files. If you don't want to have the files stored in one zip file, FBackup can make exact copies of the backup sources using 'mirror backup'. Also, you can password protect your backup zip files. FBackup uses ZIP64 compression, which means that it can create zip files over 2GB in size. When using 'full backup', the sources will be archived using standard zip compression. FBackup will automatically run the backup at the scheduled date, so you have the benefits not only of having your data protected, but you'll also save precious time. You define a backup job, set it to run automatically, and forget about it. This means that you can save some money by not having to buy another backup program.
