#2 SmartDirCopy
download software "Shareware Hangvogel" website screenshot
Shareware Hangvogel
SmartDirCopy is an easy backup program to back up (update actual copy) only a selection of your important documents, a tool for simple, frequent and fast backups. This software helps to save your everyday work in a quick and clear way. Fast because it copies only pre-selected items AND only if they changed since last backup. Clear, because it leaves the directory structure and file formats in the backup as they were in the source, making an easy control on the result of the backup or a fast restore of a file possible.
Backup is possible to several kinds of drives like hard disk, cd, dvd, zip, yazz and other direct access media*.
People who easily forget or who want more automized backups can use the included timer. People who tend to be curious or even suspicious can use the extended real time monitoring and logging possibilities.
Especially for users whose work is frequently updated but not backupped by a central system.
(*) = cds or dvds should be made directly accessible with software like DirectCd from Roxio or with other software that probably came with your writer.

Langmeier Software GmbH
Never before has it been as easy to backup data from a computer. With Langmeier Backup Software everybody can prepare secure backups! It supports ZIP compression and encryption. Any drive recognised by Windows may be used to store the backup data, including network drives, CD, DVD, Blu-Ray drives, media on a network as well as ftp-servers! Langmeier Backup allows fast and easy access to all archived files and folders, even without the backup program installed on the machine from where you wish to access the data! Files can be recovered from the backup data when required, by simply browsing or searching for them with Windows Explorer, independent of the version of Windows used. Writing a document in your Office-Program which you wish to backup every ten minutes? Or do you wish to run a backup during lunch break? Or do you want Langmeier Backup to run a quick backup before you turn your computer off? Special user requirements can be covered through different backup tasks, each can be run at a different time, it is even possible to define fixed days and times. Keep earlier versions of your files on your backup, not just the last one! If you have been working on a file for an extended period of time, it can certainly be helpful to gain access to an earlier version of this file. Whenever the file has changed, a copy will be made to the backup media; allowing you to access the latest or an earlier version of the file. This way you can access older or newer files, keeping access to older versions even after a long time. You may activate the historized backup for individual files or file types. To save storage space you can set Langmeier Backup to delete files which exceed a chosen date. With Langmeier Backup you can backup your data to a remote ftp-server. As the data will be stored at your ftp-provider and far removed from your own location, it will be safe even in case your computers and backup media burn down, are stolen or inundated.

#4 FlashBack
download software "Awgar Stone Limited" website screenshot
Awgar Stone Limited
FlashBack is designed to be the simplest way to back up a flash / USB drive. Just one double-click and a copy of the drive is zipped up onto your desktop - files and folders included. This ensures that if the drive is subsequently lost or damaged, there are recent copies of the files to revert to. FlashBack's ease of use means it's easy to keep an up-to-date back-up of your flash / USB drive.

FlashBack is so easy to use it doesn't even have an installation program, it's just one file! There is no need to install it anywhere, it can instantly be used on any computer. Just place it in the flash / USB drive and double-click it whenever you want to refresh your backup. It also has a pleasant picture of a beach instead of the usual boring grey screen!

So why back up a flash drive anyway? The answer is if it is used to actually STORE files rather than just to transfer them. For instance, a timesheet and work notes may be kept on a flash drive, constantly updated with important information. Working between different computers on different networks, some of which are not connected to the internet, the use of a flash drive may well be the most convenient way to always have access to these files. FlashBack overcomes the risk of file loss due to flash drive loss or damage.

Flash drives can easily be misplaced, or damaged (snapped off while sticking out of the side of the computer), and as such although convenient, are dangerous places to keep files. With FlashBack, a simple double-click, possibly about once a day, ensures the safety of the information in the flash drive files.

The trial version only backs up .doc, .xls, .pdf, ·jpg, .gif, .png, .zip, .txt. The full version backs up any file.
