Simple Data Backup

Simple Data Backup is a lightweight, yet reliable software that enables you to protect important files and folders, by creating local data backups and saving them onto a different drive of your computer. You can create extensive backups and control any stage of the compression process.

Establish backup options

Creating a backup for your files and folders implies compressing them to a ZIP or 7Z file, or simply duplicating the data to the specified drive. Additional tasks such as delete files from target when performing a full backup or notifying you when errors occur, may also be easily set before the process starts.
Additionally, you may schedule automatic backups, at a specific hour every day or on certain days of the week. When selecting the files and folders that you wish to backup, you can apply several filters, such as only backup a specific type of files or ignore sub-folders. It is recommended that the destination folder for the backup is set on a different drive than the source, for increased security.

Command-line tasks

The software enables you to set extra options from command-line, in order to control the backup process. Thus you can set the threshold for the number of backups to be performed before a full backup or the maximum number of errors encountered in the backup processes before you are automatically notified.
Moreover, you may set several tasks to be applied for the current backup or for all processes. You can create custom, highly detailed schedules or set conditions that trigger an automatic backup process. Additionally, global task settings can be established, when scheduling backup processes to start at the moment you log on.

Conclusion

Simple Data Backup enables you to run or schedule local backup processes, in order to protect important information or files. The software allows you to configure multiple preferences and backup schedules from its interface, but also from command-line. Thus, you may set automatic file backups to be performed periodically, and protect the files that contain important data.
