What is Files Backup?

Project Backup - Files Backup is an on-premise Windows utility engineered for automated file and folder backups to local drives, external storage (USB, portable drives), or network-attached storage (NAS/SMB).

The application runs locally on the host machine and creates compressed, encrypted ZIP archives of designated files and directories without relying on external cloud storage or background telemetry.

Key Features:

  • 100% On-Premise & Zero-Cloud: Keeps all files within the local infrastructure. Sensitive business data is never routed through third-party servers.
  • Locked File Handling: Prevents job termination by safely skipping files locked by other processes (such as Outlook .pst archives or database files) and retrying on the next scheduled run.
  • Differential Backups: Optimizes disk space and execution time by backing up only modified or newly created files after the initial full backup.
  • One-Click Restore: Built-in automated unzipping and file restoration directly from the dashboard.
  • Retention & Pruning: Automated deletion of older archive files based on user-defined retention policies.
  • Automated Scheduling & Alerts: Configurable background scheduling with SMTP email notifications on backup completion or warnings.
  • Lightweight: Native Windows application (Windows 10, 11, and Windows Server 2016+) with minimal memory footprint and zero ads.
