Most of us archive and backup the data regularly. Keeping backups of essential data is the single most effective method of preventing data loss on computer systems. If you do not like doing so, congratulations! You are a daredevil, but remember you are flirting with danger. Having said that, there are dozen different backup software we have tested or come across. Some really good options are available but no single program as “one-size-fits-all’.

The program’s interface is built around the file system with explorer style views and features similar to those found in backup applications. Apart from providing the backup and archiving facility the tool is capable of offering a password manager and a MD5/SHA checksum calculator functionality to verify file identity.
