FBackup allows you to create security backups of your local files and folders so that you can restore them later in case of data loss. The program is rather intuitive and you don't need any special knowledge to use it successfully, except for basic notions about backup and restore. Its friendly and functional interface is also a great help for the users, especially for beginners.
The program allows you to create one or more backup jobs that can be executed either manually or automatically through the scheduler. For this you count on the so-called "New Backup Wizard", a tool that allows you to configure a new backup job based on four basic questions - where, what, how and when.
On the first step, you need to specify where you want your backup to be stored, being able to choose among a local directory, a network location or even a Google Drive account you should have configured previously.
The second step (what) allows you to choose one or more local files and/or folders to be included in your backup, and you can also create an exclude list to prevent certain types of files from being backed-up.
The third step corresponds to "how" question, and it basically allows you to select the backup mode between "full" and "mirror". "Full" mode creates a zip file with all your source files/folders, while "mirror" mode copies them as they are, without zipping them.
Finally, the fourth and last step (when) allows you to select whether you want to execute your backup job manually or schedule it to be executed automatically on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. more
It is a program that automates your routine manual file copying actions.
