Features and Highlights

Cloud Backups
With Backup4all for PC, you can back-up your data in the Cloud to Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, BOX, Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, Hubic, Hidrive, and more than 37 Amazon S3 compatible cloud destinations. This way you benefit from the most powerful infrastructures for protecting online data, while using the backup program you're used to.

Smart Backup Type
It employs a unique system that decides automatically what backup type to use in order to save the most file versions (within the same allotted storage space) on your destination and improve the backup speed. Using the smart backup option you optimize the backup process and reduce decision time as you don't have to compare various backup types to chose what's more suitable.

Backup and Restore Wizards
The tool was designed to be an easy-to-use backup program. It offers helpful wizards for backing up and restoring. The backup wizard lets you create a new backup job by selecting Where, What, How, and When to backup. Restore is even easier, it takes just one click to restore data.

Free Backup Plugins
You can load plugins for backing up or restoring specific programs' settings or other custom data (like game saves, email data, etc.). List of available plugins: Free Backup Plugins

Intuitive Ribbon Interface
It has a ribbon interface for quick access to the most important options. The Getting Started window allows you to easily define/run backup jobs or restore data. Switching to Explore View you can see all files/folders that are in the backup job and the new files that will be stored at the next backup execution.

Highly Configurable
It offers four backup types to choose from: full backup, differential backup, incremental backup, and mirror backup. By default, it uses a smart backup option to automatically chose which backup type to execute for optimizing backup speed and keep the most file versions possible without exceeding the allotted storage space.

SFTP Backup Software
It can backup to SFTP, a destination combining the security of remotely stored backups, with secure file transfer protocol. Your important data is transferred to the SFTP backup server using a secure network connection, to avoid the risk of data interception.

Email Notifications
You can configure the tool to send custom emails after a backup finished, with success, error, and warning notifications. Additional options allow you to attach the backup log file and send the email to several addresses.

Multi-language
The app has its interface translated into multiple languages and this allows you to use it efficiently especially if English is not your native language. You can see a list of all languages it is available here: Supported Languages.

Mirror with Zip
The Mirror backup type creates by default an exact copy of files and folders selected as sources. This backup software gives you the option to compress files individually using standard ZIP compression. Furthermore, AES encryption can be used so that each file is encrypted and protected (the file/folder names are obfuscated in the zip archive).

Block-level Backup
Block-level backup speeds up the backup process of large files as it only back-up the modified blocks of data instead of the entire file. As an example, if you have a backup job for a large Outlook profile, whenever you receive a new email the app knows to back-up only the bits of data that modified rather than the whole PST.

Version Tracking
This tool is a backup software that offers a unique mode to track file versions. You can selectively restore any previous version of a file directly from the main window.

Data backup to DVD, CD, and Blu-ray
It comes with its own built-in DVD/CD/Blu-ray disc burning engine. This means you don't need separate software to burn your backups to DVD, CD, HD-DVD, or Blu-ray. However, if you prefer, you can still use 3rd party packet writing software to burn your CDs/DVDs/Blu-ray discs.

Standard Zip Compression
The program creates standard zip files. This format is compatible with any zip utility currently available on the market. Unlike other backup programs, for zip files greater than 2 GB, the program uses ZIP64 technology. This allows unlimited zip file size and also lets you encrypt your data using AES encryption (256-bits).

Backup open files
This backup software uses the Volume Shadow Copy service. It allows you to back up open files (local) from NTFS partitions in Windows Vista, XP, 2003, 2008 Server and Windows 7. For example, you can backup Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express emails and settings without closing them.

FTP Backup Software
You can keep an online backup of your data to a remote location using an FTP connection (with SSL, active/passive transfer modes, firewall support).

Notifications
The tool shows messages when certain actions occur (i.e. when finishing a backup). These notifications can be shown in a pop-up window or be silently saved in the Messages panel.

Predefined backups
Predefined backups, such as the app for Windows Configurations, Google Chrome Bookmarks & Profiles, Internet Explorer Favorites, Mozilla Firefox Profiles, My Documents, My Pictures or Windows Live Mail, make it easier to back-up specific applications or data. Additionally, other backup plugins can be freely installed from an extensive online library.

Automatic backups
Using Backup 4 all's built-in scheduler you can define backup jobs that back up automatically your important files at specific dates. You can also set extra actions to perform before and/or after the backup execution. It has also a command-line version.

Ransomware protection
WannaCry Ransomware is one of the most aggressive crypto-viruses as it will encrypt your data and you will not be able to access it unless a ransom is paid. It protects your data against WannaCry Ransomware (WannaCrypt) by backing it up online to Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or other popular remote destinations. Thus, even if your data gets encrypted by WannaCry or other ransomware viruses, you'll still have uninfected copies stored online.
