Personal Backup Review

Personal Backup software allows users to save personal information to their choice of destination folders. These folders can be located on a removable drive, a fixed drive, an FTP server or even a Windows network server. The point of the software is to make copies of users' files in an area that is distinct from the hard drive. Conducting the backup operation is a task that the user can do on his own or run in an automatic fashion with Personal Backup's assistance.

How it Works

Personal Backup will save files that have not yet been backed up as well as files with comparatively newer timestamps. The default program is designed to check whether the specified file is newer than one that has already been saved. Users are also empowered to create scheduled backups and have the destination paths alternate on a daily or weekly basis. It is quite easy to begin a backup with the Windows Task Scheduler so don't worry about a steep learning curve.
