SmartBackup copies files and folders from one location to another on the same drive, another drive, or across a network. You can set up projects that describe the source location, the destination location, and the frequency at which you want to copy the files. It monitors the source files for changes or additions and then automatically copies the new or changed files to their designated destinations. Advanced options include PKZip-compatible compression, password protection, directory synchronization, and background thread priority control. You can also include or exclude a specific file or set of files from the copy and keep any number of old versions of files. Once you configure the projects with your important file locations, the program sits as an icon in the Windows system tray and copies files in the background.
SmartBackup is an inexpensive, fast and easy to use backup software for Windows 2000/XP/Vista. On the one hand it helps you to select your important files for backup, which results in a short time needed for a backup. On the other hand it automatically keeps your backups up to date and does copy only files which really have changed since the last backup.
Additionally it allows you to synchronize your backup source and destination, which makes it easy to keep your data files and documents on your PC and your laptop synchronized. SmartBackup offers detailed options to specify which files should be copied. You can also specify an FTP Server or an ZIP File as backup destination.
