Backup Your Files For Peace Of Mind

You may not need file backups very often. Sometimes it may be months or years before you might need a backup. But, on those rare occasions when your hard drive crashes, a laptop is stolen or a virus corrupts important documents a backup can be a life saver. Ideally, your backup should be physically separated from the computer that you are backing up so that there is no risk of losing both at the same time.

Areca Backup Is Free Open Source Software

Areca supports incremental, differential and full backups. It has a Graphical User Interface that is convenient for general administrative tasks.

You Can Backup Where And How You Prefer

It creates backup copies (which can be encrypted and compressed) of your files and stores them on external drives, pendrives or FTP servers. You can do the backups manually or you can set up automatic backups that will happen on a regular basis. Scheduling can be set up using the features of the operating system, such as the Windows Task Scheduler.

Recover As Needed

You can recover an entire archive, a single file or subdirectory or a specific version of a file, depending upon what you need.
