Save Storage Space

Reduce backup size by up to 70% with built-in ZIP compression. Store more backups without buying additional storage — your existing hard drive or USB holds much more data.

Keep Your Data Secure

Protect all sensitive files with strong encryption, ensuring financial, personal, and business data remain secure even if your backup is lost. For most users, AES-128 provides a perfect blend of speed and security.

Store Your Backups Your Way

Choose Your Backup Type

Full Backup creates a complete copy, ideal for first-time or monthly backups. Incremental Backup only saves changed files, cutting storage and time by up to 90%. Handy Backup lets you combine both, e.g., with weekly full and daily incremental backups.
