File Backup Pro is Free
Given the amount of time and effort you put into your files, it is worth paying a little extra to ensure that they are not lost after a virus or disk failure. However, File Backup Pro is absolutely free with no strings attached.

Why is this? File Backup Pro is a trial component of our Data Transport Agent, and we have created and released it to assist in demonstrating the underlying architecture to our DTA customers.

We see no reason to let this useful utility go to waste, so we have provided it free to the general public. In return, we welcome any feedback or suggestions on how we can make our software more useful to our customers.

New - Email Notifications

File Backup Pro now supports email notifications on all its modules. Get daily status reports or error logs sent straight to you as soon as they occur.

Backup Files

Simply select the source files you would like to backup, and the destination on the network which you would like to copy to. File Backup Pro automatically detects files which have been modified, and copies them to the destination.

Compress Files

To save space, you may optionally compress your modified files into a .zip file, reducing your backup space by up to 90% or more. Furthermore, compressed files may be time-stamped, allowing you to create a seperate transactional zip file for every day - each new zip file will contain only copies of those files which have changed, while the original files remain backed up in your previous timestamped compressions.

Automatically Copy to FTP (FTP Upload)

Specify an FTP server instead of a network destination, and File Backup Pro will copy your files offsite. This additional level of remote security provides an even more robust file backup scheme, with no extra effort or expense on your part.

FTP Download

File Backup Pro can even copy files down from an FTP server, using our FTP Download functionality.

Synchronize Deleted Files

If a file is removed from the source directory, you may optionally elect to remove it from any pre-existing backup directory as well. This feature keeps your two systems tightly aligned, with no old files cluttering up your backups.

Transactional Backups

A click of a button and File Backup Pro switches from full backup mode to transactional mode. In transactional mode, the software creates a new compressed file each day, containing only the files which have changed since the previous day's backup.

Filter your files - all files, wildcards, or regular expressions

The File Transfer module allows you to accurately specify exactly which files you want transfered by providing you with increasingly advanced filtering options, including the use of regular expressions. Don't know how to use regular expressions, don't worry - File Backup Pro comes with some common templates to get you started:
  • Music and sound files
  • Image files
  • Microsoft Office documents
  • Microsoft Visual Studio Deployment Files (Web or Forms)
You may even create your own regular expressions and save them to the Library for use later.
