On every day of the week, we are contacted by desperate PC users who have accidentally lost important data that is often impossible to recover. Memorable photos that can never be reshot or a video of baby’s first steps are just a couple of the sorry examples we encounter.
O&O AutoBackup 5 is out now! It automatically backs up and synchronizes selected files and folders using an external storage device, for example a USB drive, an NAS in a local network or a network drive. Whenever that device is connected to the PC, a backup process begins automatically. This is particularly useful for people with no IT knowledge – simply connect a device and the backup process starts. The integrated real time synchronization feature protects data even faster. As soon as a file is changed or created on the source, O&O AutoBackup will copy it onto the connected target disk.
For even better control over the data, O&O AutoBackup can synchronize the files automatically with several different storage devices: users can for instance save work documents to an external hard disk and put holiday photos on a USB drive. The user interface has been entirely re-developed using new technology.
Automatic file comparison
Whenever an external disk is connected to the computer, O&O AutoBackup 5 will check to see if there have been any changes to those files and folders already located on that disk. There’s no need to start the program manually.
Using a simple file selection dialog, the user can select the files, folders, and even partitions that he or she wants to backup.
