This allows users to create redundant backups to multiple locations. It’s simple to use - users can mix and match backup types by schedule and backup chain (full, full and incremental or full and differential), plus set up multiple jobs. The latter allows users to manually select individual files and folders, or choose by type across selected volumes or folders, with a range of common document, music and video formats available for pre-selection as well as an option for the user to set up their own file-type filters. Users have a choice of three backup types: the entire computer (all connected volumes), Disks/Volumes (users can select individual physical disks or partitions) and files and folders. The latest version also unveils a smart new user interface based on the modern UI. Differential backups record only the changes made since the last full backup was taken, while incremental backups record changes since the last incremental backup.

Version 17 introduces support for both incremental and differential backups for greater flexibility and to reduce disk space usage. The free tool offers a comprehensive series of backup tools: entire disks (including structure), individual partitions and selected files and folders.
