For the file/folder-backup Duplicati is the best free app For a good backup functionality is is necessary to cleanup more/older than x backups (CLU) not only older backups than x months, and to configure the schedule of a backup also for each 2nd Monday 10:00 and to pause if the system is busy (Sch). Comparison of file/folder backup applications: Comparison ...... CLU . Sch . Lang SyncBack Free...... No ... Yes .. English only Cobian Backup .. Yes .. No ... Many Acronis True Im.. Yes .. Yes .. Many Duplicati ...............Yes .. Yes .. Dan.En.Fr.Port. Areca Backup ..... No .. Yes .. English only Personal Backup No .. Yes .. Engl.+German Saft Backup .........Yes .. No .. Engl.+German

Duplicati (1) is the best free backup application. Acronis True Image (2) has all necessary functions, has multi-language UI and additionally can do harddisk images with best functions, but it is not free. In difference to Duplicati Saft Backup can do backups with volume shadow copy (VSS), but cannot do a backup on each second Monday and has no flexible file filter.

What is Personal Backup?

Personal-Backup is an English/German program to save personal data to any destination folder. This folder may be located on a local fixed or removable drive, on a windows network server or on a FTP server. It runs under Windows 7 (32- and 64-Bit), Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003/2008. You can configure and store as many backup tasks as you want. The selecting of the files to backup is made on folder basis. All subfolders are included automatically. But the user can exclude or include any subdirectories from backup by selection or by filter. Additional criteria are the selection by file types, file age and/or file name filter. At the destination folder the original drives (C:, D:, etc.) look like subdirectories named LwC, LwD, etc. The original directory structure remains unchanged beneath these folders. All files may be compressed using GZip or in total or separated by subfolders as zip files. Optionally alls data can be encrypted by the AES algorithm. Performing the backup can be done manually or automatically. During the backup the programm checks wether the file to be saved is newer than the backupped file or not. Only files with newer timestamps are saved. An alternate criteria is the archive bit of the files. The automatic backup is started on login, at a selectable time of day, on logout or on shutdown (not under Vista). You can make a scheduled backup with dayly or weekly changing destination paths. For individual schedules it is easy to start a backup using the windows task scheduler using the command line options of the program.
