Description:
Snap Backup is The One-Click Backup Utility that makes it simple to protect your important work. Snap Backup is for individual computer users who need a simple and convenient way to backup their valuable files, and it's free.
Protecting Your Data Should be Easy
How often do you backup? How much work would you lose if your hard drive crashed right now? Snap backup makes it easy to frequently backup and archive your valuable data. Protect your work with Snap Backup.
* One Click to Perform a Backup
* Configurable Settings
* Runs on Most Platforms (Including: Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, and Windows)
* Supports Multiple Languages
* It's Free (No adware, spyware, or any other evil stuff)
The first time you run Snap Backup, you configure where your data files reside and where to create backup files. You can also specify an archive location, such as a USB drive or an Iomega Zip® drive, for storing backup files. Snap Backup automatically puts the current date in the backup file name, alleviating you from the tedious task of renaming your backup file every time you backup. The backup file is a single compressed file that can be read by zip programs such as StuffIt®, gzip, and WinZip®.
Take Control
Good system administrators have backup procedures for their company servers, databases, and network files. Individual computer users, on the other hand, are usually left to fend for themselves. Snap Backup is the simple answer for individual users, in the corporation or at home, who want to protect their valuable data.
For Everyone

Cobian Backup v9 Beta
Description:
Cobian Backup is a multi-threaded program that can be used to schedule and backup your files and directories from their original location to other directories/drives in the same computer or other computer in your network. FTP backup is also supported in both directions (download and upload).
Cobian Backup exists in two different versions: application and service. The program uses very few resources and can be running on the background on your system, checking your backup schedule and executing your backups when necessary. Cobian Backup is not an usual backup application: it only copies your files and folders in original or compressed mode to other destination, creating a security copy as a result. So Cobian Backup can be better described as a "Scheduler for security copies".
Cobian Backup supports several methods of compression and strong encryption.
New on version 9 Amanita
* Support for Volume Shadow Copies. You will be able to backup locked files
* Support for 7zip compression
* Now you can pause the backup in any place
* The update function can now use SOCKS
* proxy SMTP can now use SOCKS
* SMTP can now use SSL
* Autostart the interface can now be set for all users or the current user
* Autostart options are now playing fair with administrator’s rights
* Start a backup when autostart
* The remote directories are now created from the top to the root, thus minimizing the risk for Permission problems
* Downloading files shows now the percent
* FTP operations can now use UTF transfers if the server support it
* FTP operations use now UNICODE for local operations
* Zip files can now store file names in UNICODE
* Checking an archive could sometimes delete the archived files. Fixed.
* Prettier about boxes
* Icon in task properties for Manual AND ftp where swapped
* IPC via MMF is now gone
* The update server can now use MSSQL for logs or can use no logs at all
* SQX is now gone.
* Checking archives wrongly displayed Compressing using the verbose log
* CobDeleter is now an integral part of the UI
* Fixed the old “Error while connecting to :21:" error
* A brand new, improved help file and tutorial
* And MUCH more
New on version 8
* The program uses now Unicode functions whenever it can. Using compression and FTP will use ANSI functions, of course because of limitations on those formats or the FTP protocol. If you don't use compression or FTP, the program will always handle your file names as Unicode.
* The program uses now memory mapped files for inter-process communication. All the TCP communication used in older versions has been eliminated.
* A new method of encryption has been added: RSA-Rijndael, which uses a 256-bit Rijndael encryption with a random key that is itself encrypted used a 1024-bit RSA asymmetric key.
* Sensitive settings as passwords are now stored in the ini file using strong encryption
* The program is now a "green" application. All the files are stored in ini files. The only part that used the registry is the service, which, for obvious reasons must be installed using the registry. A green application, of course is not necessarily a good thing, but some people (often for "religious" reasons) seem to think that this is a good thing. Oh, well...
* A feature allows you now you execute individual tasks under different user accounts. The task will then try to impersonate the user and execute the task under that account.
* The 256 characters path limit is now GONE thanks to Unicode. The file and paths names can now be up to 32000 characters long.
* Now you can close programs using also their class names.
* Better SQX error handling.
* Full service control from the Option dialog.
* The mirroring effect that you got while compressing AND overwriting has been thankfully eliminated.
* LOTS of bugs fixed
* A better user interface.
* FTP transfers of larger files (> 2 GB are now supported)
