Backup4all is a commercial backup software for various versions of Microsoft Windows, including Vista. Backup4all’s explorer style interface makes all features easily accessible. The backups can be completely automated and is non-intrusive. This is a big plus, as Backup4all keeps backup version tracking and incremental backups.
Backup4all supports backups to variety of media including DVD and CD. Essentially Backup4all comes with its own burning support. One of the nice feature of Backup4all, I liked, was the silent backup of my Outlook .pst files through my laptop’s DVD writer. This can be done on an incremental basis.
The remote backup supports FTP with SSL. Backup4all can work behind a proxy also.
There is no comparison to the Backup4all support – as it is available even if you are on a trial-version. The backups can be secured using AES encryption upto 256-bit keys.The backups are regular Zip files with the Catalog meta-data. This ensures interoperability with any other backup or Zip utility. The backup-process priority can be adjusted using a convenient slider.
The backup and restore process can be customized with the advanced filters and criteria. Backup4all offers Mirror backups and it is very efficient and fast when backing up Video and such large files.
Backup4all offers three editions: Professional, Standard and Lite. The Professional version has advanced features like Email notifications for backup events and Encryption. Download Backup4all from the official site. There is also a portal version of Backup4all, which works only in a U3 device.
Backup4all is a full-fledged backup solution for Windows platform. It has got prestigious mentions in LockerGnome, Microsoft and Wugnet, Softpedia, TechConnect Magazine and has a 5/5 rating on Tucows.
If you are involved in a personal or corporate Windows PC backup plan, I would recommend to give a trial to Backup4all. I have not seen such high level of customization in any other freeware solutions like SyncBack or Linux Sbackup.
