IT staff dealing with lots of backup jobs will like the deep-dive features, such as search and a verbose history.
IDGīackup4All supports a lot of destinations, and has all the options end-user and IT-types need. There must be a musician in house, or using the program. I was quite surprised to see my favorite music program, Ableton Live, on the list. FTP and SFTP are also supported if you’re backing up to a NAS box or such, as I do.īackup4All also provides some nice perks that I wish all vendors did, such as the ability to test a backup to make sure it will start correctly, an integrated utility to cull older backups, and a plug-in architecture that accepts XML files describing how to back up programs and their data. There were a few minor foibles, such as a very jerky redraw when resizing the main window, and a distinctly odd way of closing some panes by dragging an invisible divider to the edge of the window.Īll the expected functionality and options are provided, including email notifications, scheduling, media rotation, encryption, compression (zip), file include/exclude filters, comprehensive logging, and more.īackup4All supports a number of popular online storage services such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon S3, Google Drive, Google Cloud Storage, Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, HiDrive and Hubic. The program steps you through job creation and tells you what went right and what went wrong in a straightforward and concise fashion. You can show and hide the various panes to make it even simpler.Ĭonsidering its complexity, Backup4All is easy to use and unlike some programs, provides adequate information on what to do and what’s going on. IDGīackup4All’s interface is utilitarian, but in a pleasant way. The bare icons used by many programs, except when used sparingly, are a waste of cognition time. It’s good-looking yet focused, and uses the Microsoft drop-down ribbon style, which nicely combines icons and text. As you can see below, Backup4All is all-business in its approach to backup.
