The application tests the backups (using CRC32). This ensures that the files have been backed
up properly and the backup is safe. You can also test the backup integrity at a later time from
the application main menu.
When backing up to removable media, after each media item written the backup test is
performed (for spanned backups).
When backing up to FTP, the XCRC command can be used (if supported by server). This
speeds up the testing as Backup4all will verify the backup based on the CRC information
received from server.
Standard zip compression
Backup4all creates standard zip files. This means that your data is not at the mercy of the
utility itself; you can access it with any zip compatible utility.
Customized zip names
You can customize name prefixes for the zip archives, which store your backup versions.
Backup4all also supports file/folder paths longer than 260 characters (turn off file parsing).
Password protection
You can protect your zip files by setting a password for each backup.
Snapshots
The mirror backup type makes an exact copy of selected files and folders.
Disk spanning
Automated support for splitting your backup between many removable disks or even on the
same media. You can specify the maximum size of the zip archives.
When performing a mirror backup and using disk spanning you can choose not to split the
files. This is an useful option because you can copy your music/movies to CD or DVD and not
have them trimmed when the CD or DVD is full.
Multi-thread
Backup4all allows you to start more backups at the same time, to execute a whole group of
backups at once, showing the progress of each backup.
Logs
The operations performed by Backup4all are logged. You can change the location of the log
file if you want to store it in a different place.
Command line
There is a command line version of Backup4all available. You can use the "Backup4all
Scheduler" to schedule backups.
Restore wizard
Restore backed up data step-by-step. Allows you to choose the version of files which will be
restored and filter them to restore only the files that are needed.
