You can backup to local folders or drives, upload backups to remote FTP servers, or create backup CDs/DVDs with the integrated burner software. Additional features include built-in scheduler, zip compression, splitting of large backup sets, password protection and more. TK8 Backup also offers a monitoring feature that can automatically start a backup when it detects that your files have been changed. Making backups of files and folders is fast and easy. Imagine how convenient it would be to have your documents, contacts and e-mails (Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Mail) all backed up daily, automatically. By setting up different backup tasks you will have a flexible backup system. Each task can have its own settings like which files to back up, how often, how many previous backups to keep, where to keep them, etc. TK8 Backup is data backup software. It is designed to back up your documents, files and folders. It cannot make full system backups which would include everything in one huge backup file (including operating system and boot sectors). Data backups have many advantages over the full system backups. Most important is that data backups are much smaller and will take less time to create. They are also easier to operate. In addition, with data backups you can restore any single file or folder when you need it. You do not have to restore the entire system to get back your valuable data. In addition to complete data backups, TK8 Backup can also create incremental and differential backups. With those backup types, only changed or added files will be backed up, compared to the last backup. This means smaller backup files and saved disc space. To save your disc space, all backups are compressed automatically. The popular ZIP compression used is fast and efficient. For example, text documents can be compressed more than 90%. Backups can be password protected and encrypted. One of the most secure encryption algorithms is used to secure your data (256 bit AES). So you never have to worry about unauthorized access to your information. Backups can be saved to your hard disc, local network drives, CD, DVD, USB discs, Zip drives, Jazz drives, MO drives, etc. If your backup is too large enough to fit one disc, TK8 Backup can split it and save it on multiple discs. Even duplicate locations can be set up to keep your data in different places. You also have the option to automatically upload your backup ZIP files to an off-site server using the built in FTP client, so that the information is available should a fire or burglar destroy your computer. Once backup tasks are set up, you can make backups with a single mouse click. You can also use the scheduler, so backups would be created automatically on hourly, daily or monthly basis. By using scheduler, you don"t have to worry about forgetting to back up your data. Different options and unique folder monitoring system ensures you always have the latest version of your important files. Not only making but also managing your backups is important. As you can have separate backup versions of your data, it is important to see how much space they are taking, where are they located, which files they contain, etc. You might also want to burn additional copy to another CD or DVD. For all this, recent backups list is always seen on the main screen, allowing you to easily manage backups of the selected profile. Built in Restoring Wizard is the tool that makes restoring your data easy. To get your data restored, just follow the steps. Quick restoring option allows you to restore the whole backup without any wizard questions. TK8 Backup can also create executable backups. In addition to your data, the executable backup also contains the restoring wizard. You do not need any other program to restore your data. Just execute the backup file and follow the wizard steps. Advanced users can benefit from additional features and options like filtering source files, backing up open files, unlimited backup file size, backup process logging, e-mail notifications, processor usage limits, system tray mode, hidden mode, Windows Service support, integrated CD and DVD burning tool, easy FTP management utility, etc.
