Synei Backup Manager

Developed as an effective backup utility, Synei Backup Manager allows you to create multiple tasks and manage a schedule. It's free to use and features some powerful options that are usually found in professional applications.
After a brief and uneventful setup operation that shouldn't give you any trouble, you are greeted by a small window with a neatly organized structure, representing Synei Backup Manager's interface.

Create backup and sync jobs

New tasks can be put together using a task editor or wizard for first-time users. You can specify the backup folder, destination location and folder name, include the date and time, as well as synchronize the contents of the two folders or overwrite existing files in the destination.

Compress, encrypt and exclude files

In addition, Synei Backup Manager is capable of compressing the folder into a ZIP archive to free up space, as well as to apply a password to prevent unauthorized users from accessing your private files. It's also possible to exclude any items from the task.

Manage a backup scheduler and configure app settings

You can create as many backup jobs as you want, edit their properties, or remove them from the list. As previously mentioned, Synei Backup Manager features a scheduler, so you can enable automatic backups daily or on a specific day of the week and at a preferred time.
Settings can be saved to file and imported later. What's more, you can ask the tool to automatically run at every Windows startup until further notice, hide to the system tray area on close, as well as to copy file attributes and folder permissions.

All in all, Synei Backup Manager comes prepared with some powerful options for data backup and synchronization, and it's free.
