AceBackup Offers Local, Remote, and Secure File Backup

A very robust backup utility, AceBackup offers a host of features missing in most freeware backup apps, like file versioning, secure FTP, file-specific encryption, Windows shell integration, and backup compression.

To set up a secure backup job in AceBackup, create a new project, select the files, choose the level of security, tell AceBackup where to put the files—local hard disk, network disk, CD/DVD, remote FTP, etc.—and how often, and bam!

You get automated, secure, local and remote backup nirvana that rivals my other favorite, Syncback SE.

Ace Backup is a free download.

SyncBack SE

Syncback is not a typical file backup. Never the less it can be used for that too. Syncback offers an array of synchronization options not found in typical file backup program. It does an excellent job keeping the data on two different systems synchronized.

The typical application for it may be to keep the data on your laptop and your desktop the same. Another use would be to backup up your local data to the server. There are many uses for this excellent sync program. SyncBack SE is very well done.

We use SyncBack SE to synchronize data across networks and to FTP servers. Every time I use it I find more great features. I recommend it to any admin or advanced user but not to a novice or even average user.
