In the end at face value, in terms of “backup features”, Titan Backup is still the superior backup software: Titan Backup can do incremental backups, AES encryption, backup registry and has a sync tool. Obviously the advantage of these plugins is that they allow you to easily backup data from programs that you would have to do manually otherwise. So if you want to backup something that does not have a plugin for already, you can create a plugin for it (and hopefully share it with everyone else). To use the plugin, just select it when at the “select files or folder” screen when creating/editing a backup job:Īnother great thing is the plugin platform for FBackup is open-platform in the sense that anyone can develop an FBackup plugin. The plugin downloads are free and install very easily: just click on “Add” from FBackup plugin window after you have downloaded a plugin and add the plugin. from all different types of programs including, but not limited to, MSN messenger, Skype, Roboform, and Thunderbird. What these plugins do is allow you to backup the data/settings/etc. I know the website is the Backup4all website but the plugins are meant for FBackup also. However what puts FBackup on the radar, what made me want to write about FBackup, is the extensive plugin support (“Tools” -> “Plugins”):įrom the developer’s website you can download any of 89 plugins for FBackup: In other words FBackup, uptil this point, is nothing special – Titan Backup is still the superior backup software.

If you just consider the features I mentioned above, FBackup is just the mediocre it-will-get-the-job-done type of backup program. In fact I would say FBackup is even missing some run-of-the-mill features such as incremental or differential backup and AES encryption of backup. Do backups automatically with the “scheduler”.Īs I said, so far the features mentioned are just run-of-the-mill average features you can expect to be in most any backup programs.

Create a backup of open files/files currently in use.Do a 1:1 backup or backup to a compressed.

Backup locally, externally, or over a network.

Create a file filter to each backup “job”.

Actually I think it was more like multiple someones pointing out FBackup to me rather than me spending grueling hours on Google searching for it but hey, who is keeping tabs?įBackup is a file backup software that has the average run-of-the-mill features: Back in February when I reviewed Backup4all Lite 4 I discovered that the developer of the commercial Backup4all software series (Softland) had a freeware version of the software called FBackup.
