Back4Sure x64 is a backup program for your documents, pictures, music, videos and anything you find valuable. The files to copy may be distributed all over your computer, even on different drives.

Back4Sure x64 lets you create a list of included or excluded default filters or filters for the selected directory, configure compression settings (e.g. default file name, archive format, password), set up the cleanup mode (e.g. all files that don't match the current backup job), enable confirmations, schedule actions before or after the backup is executed, as well as view log details. The backup job can be saved to file for further projects, and you can verify the job consistency. The program is very light on the system resources, has a good response time and finishes a backup job rapidly and error-free. We have not encountered any difficulties throughout our evaluation, since the app did not hang or crash.
Back4Sure x64 does not use a proprietary file format to store your data. All files are simply copied or alternatively stored in standardized ZIP or 7ZIP containers. This way you don't need Back4Sure to get your files back, your file manager will do the job!

Additionally, Back4Sure x64 has an option to cleanup the target directory. With this option you can remove orphaned files, that only exist in the target directory but do not have correponding source files anymore.

While offering lots of options for the backup process, Back4Sure x64 is still handy and flexible: It occupies less than 1 MB of storage space and can easily be run from a flash disk without installation. It does not leave any traces on the host system and does not install any kind of extensions or services.

FEATURES:

· You can easily select multiple folders from the directory tree to include them into the backup set. Just as easy you can exclude certain folders from the backup.

Efficient filter system:

Compression option with adjustable directory depth:
