O&O AutoBackup 4: Connect – Synchronize – Remove
O&O AutoBackup synchronizes files and folders automatically with one or more external storage devices – and always exactly at the point when the device is connected to the PC. It also only synchronizes those files that were altered.
Berlin, November 4th, 2014 – O&O Software, a specialist in data security and data recovery, announces its latest version of O&O AutoBackup. O&O AutoBackup 4 automatically backs up and synchronizes selected files and folders using an external storage device, for example a USB Stick. Whenever that USB is connected to the PC a backup process begins automatically. If a source file was changed or rewritten O&O AutoBackup copies it straight to the external device.
The files are saved as copies on the target disk so that they can also be accessed without O&O AutoBackup using the normal Windows Explorer. New photos can be automatically backed up in this way as well: the only thing the user has to do is connect an external disk to the computer.
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 synchrionize 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 stick. The simple and intuitive user interface requires just a few clicks for creating dependable backups and guarantees full protection.
Automatic file comparison
Whenever an external disk is connected to the computer, O&O AutoBackup 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.
Backup options include:
- Full Backup: all data is copied to the external disk into a directory. This is always the first step in order to have a complete backup of all selected files.
- Backup of the changes: All changes and new data will be copied. A new file is written each time but the original file on the external medium is not changed. Files that have been deleted on the source remain on the external disk.
- Synchronization: All changes are implemented and deleted data will be removed from the target medium.
- Real time synchronization: As soon as files are created or changed on the source, O&O AutoBackup copies them onto the designated target drive.
