Free Backup Software FBackup 4.4

I have been discussed about cool backup softwares that can be used to backup your important data smoothly. FBackup 4.4 another cool software I found to back up all your files. And I do not have to explain why you should backup your computers regularly. FBAckup is a program I found while trying to fix a problem in a computer ( It is not related to backups or retrieving data). While I am writing this post Fbackup is backing up all my important files intoa external hard drive. So, you can download and test it out.

Best features I would like to point out is
* Backup Open files is one of the biggest advantage of this software. Specially the Outlook pst file. I am always had problem backing up pst files when outlook is open. FBackup dose not seems to have any problems. This apply for all the other open files as well.

* Backup with Standard Zip is another cool feature. Why? Most of the paid backup softwares compress or encrypt the backup so you will need the same program to restore. However, this one have a option to compress the files using standard zip file.

* Next one is the best out of all the key features. It is free to use personally and commercial. Isn't it cool? So, why do not you give it a try and backup all you important files regularly.

Last post I looked into the important things that we need to finalize before taking backups. After you decide What, Where and When to take backups, you will require proper file backup software that will meet all your requirements. When it comes to personal use I would like a free, simple tool that will silently back up my files without giving problems.

SyncBack is a simple but powerful software that can be used to backup and synchronize files and folder. It can access files and folders from computers from your local area network(LAN) or wide area network(WAN). Also, it can backup your files to a FTP account. You can create many profiles to meet different requirements. For example you can create one profile to backup My Documents and another one to backup Music and Movie folders. Also, SyncBack can be used to synchronize files between two or more computers. Then you can schedule each profile, so it will backup or sync your file frequently. 


Full featured SyncBack is available to download for free. It Support Windows 7, Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2008, Windows 2003, Windows 2000, Windows 98, 98SE, ME, and NT 4.However Windows 95 is not supported.

If you create profiles daily, weekly and monthly schedule them accordingly. It is wise to choose a time that you do not use your computer. So, backup process will run smoothly and it will not slow down your computer or internet connection. Also, it you run regular backups make sure you give enough time in between each run to complete. 

[3W&H] What Where When & How to Backup Your Computer

Majority of the computer users do not regularly backup their important files. Simply because, backup process is complicated, time consuming and scared of paying big bills at the end. However, you end up paying  the price when something happened to computer or the computer hard drive. Lets look at a way you can simply organize your file regular backup.

How to backup files? We will find millions of hardware, software and online solutions for it. Unfortunately these solutions do not meet our requirements. You need to identify your requirements before you start looking for ways to backup.  Here are the questions you can ask yourself.

1. What to Backup?
2. Where to Backup?
3. When to Backup?
4. How to Backup?

How to backup you files is the last questions you need to answer.

What to Backup?
Backing up all your files in the computer and external hard drives is time consuming as well as going to cost you lot. Trying to backup each and every thing is the first reason why it fails to do regular automated backups.

You need to select the files that you cannot live without them. It depends on person to person and no one can help you with it. So take time go through your files and folders and decide what is important and what files change update regularly. Managing folder structure base on the importance of files or base on the project can come in handy in this task. You can easily specify the what folder to backup and what not to.

For example you can easily skip video files, mp3s and thousands of picture you download from Internet. Even you lost them still you can manage to recover them with time or even without them it will not make much difference to your day to life.

Where to backup?
After you identifying what files to be backup now you can move to the next question. That is Where you going to back these files?
Now you have a idea about the total size of files and frequency of updating these files and importance of the files. You can decide what type of media you can/should select to backup.

If the data you going to back up is worth millions you can easily spend couple of thousands for backing up. If it is just regular files that you use then you should not spend a lot. Here are some options that you can use to backup files.

1. Different Partition - Good for quicker access but your backup is not secure at all
2. External Hard Drive - Better and good for regular backups faster.
3 Network Storage - Better if you need couple of machine to be backed up regularly.
4. Cd's/DVDs - Cheap and good for one time backups - not good for regular backups.
5. Online Storage / FTP accounts - Your back up is secure if something happened to the current location.

There can be many more options and these are only couple of them to have a idea. It is always to have one or more local backups and at least one backup in another location (FTP).

When to Backup?
This is another important question you should answer before starting or backing up your files. Answer to this question basically is the answer to backup scheduling.
Couple of good options are...

1. Daily
2. Weekly
3. Monthly
4. Yearly

Basically you might have to go with each of these options with your regularly updating files. Main reason for that it in any case you have accidentally delete or change any files you can always go one day backwards and retrieve it. Also you will have week old files and month old files as well.

However, if you are backing up data in frequently updating environment where couple of users involved you might have to keep daily backups for at least for seven days. That require space accordingly.

Another important fact is at what time you are planning to take the backups. Backing up process may take the computer resources will result your machine to run bit slower than usual. It totally depend on the software you use. If the files are in use it might not properly backed up as some programs lock some files.

How to Backup?
Final question. Here we will analyse our answers to all the above three question and come to a conclusion. This is the time you will make decision how much you going to spend base on couple of calculations you do.

1. Find enough Storage for the backups.
At least 5 times bigger than the total size of the files you have to backup.

2. Find proper storage devices base on your budget and requirements.

External Hard drive, NAS (Network Storage, Online Storage with FTP access or can you manage with CD's or DVDs.
