Back4Sure 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.

Back4Sure will gather all the files you've selected for backup and make a copy of them into a specified target directory. The folder with the drive drive letter of the source drive and the directory structure will be automatically created in the target directory, so all your files will be stored coorectly and easy to find. In this process, Back4Sure will only copy files that have changed since the last backup, so even a large number of files is backed up as fast as possible.

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. Thanks to its rich features, yet intuitive layout, Back4Sure should please the entire audience.

You can use a USB flash drive, a second hard drive or a network share as backup target. With the built-in compression of Back4Sure you can save space and especially on flash disks lots of time when you make a backup of thousands of files.

FEATURES:

Easy folder selection:
· 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:
· You can easily create filter set to determine which files to include in or to exclude from the backup. And this not only for the whole backup, but also for individual folders.

Compression option with adjustable directory depth:
· Backups may be stored in a compressed format. If you choose to enable compression, you can specify the directory depth from which on all files are packed into a single archive file. This way you can avoid very large archives and improve overall safety of you backup process.

Cleanup the target directory:
· After larger restructuring of your file organization, lots of files in the backup target directory do not have corresponding source files anymore. Using the cleanup function of Back4Sure you can easily remove those orphaned files from the target directory.

Creating desktop links to backup jobs:
· You can easily create a desktop link to a backup job from within the program, from which the backup job can be directly started by just double clicking it.
