QRecall

Keep incremental versions of disk images, virtual machines, multi-media and log files in a fraction of the space used by other backup programs. Retain versions for years, instead of weeks. Backup a single file or multiple volumes. Run backups on specific days, at specific times, at regular intervals, when you log out, when an external drive is attached, or only during certain times of the day. Start them, stop them, pause them, suspend them, resume them.
