ExtraBackup copies files and folders from one location to another on the same drive, another drive, or across the network. You can set up Tasks that describe the source location, the destination location, and the frequency at which you want to copy the files. ExtraBackup monitors the source files for changes or additions and then automatically copies the new or changed files to their designated destinations. The program features ZIP compression to reduce storage space as well as optional, password-protected AES data encryption. You can also include or exclude a specific file or set of files from the copy and keep any number of old versions of files. Once you configure the Tasks in terms of files and locations and set up a schedule in Microsoft(r) Task Scheduler, the program will be launched by the system as planned and copy files in the background so you will always have an up-to-date backup when you need it.
