Data loss is no laughing matter, and being proactive with the things that are important to you is never a bad idea. Backing up your files is thus recommended, and this applies to both casual and professional users. Manual backups work, but when you have tools that can do that for you, it’s all the more convenient.
It’s really quite an incentive if you think about it. Just configure your backup, and the tool will take care of the rest for you — AnyFileBackup is one such solution. Per its name, it facilitates backing up any type of file in more than one way, addressing both personal and commercial uses.
Set and forget
The core functionality of the program hinges on creating automatic backup tasks: you set them up once, then the app will take care of everything else going forward. Design-wise, the interface is clear-cut in that sense as well, as you can get an idea about the main features at a glance.
To start off, click the Add button and decide on the backup type: Folder is the standard one, but you can also opt for FTP, SFTP, Mailbox, and S3 Cloud Storage. As stated prior, the software is suitable for professional use, hence the various options.
Configuring a task isn’t too difficult. You can create multiple tasks and add them to a group to organize them easier, set up scheduling, choose how to manage subfolders, implement filtering for more efficient operations, and so on.
More actions, more configurability
Tasks can be further customized by assigning additional actions. These will let you customize what the program does prior to and after a file transfer.
For example, you can back up your files to multiple destinations, execute a certain application or variable afterwards, then send out an email to notify one of the process’ completion.
A backup manager with lots of wiggle room
AnyFileBackup is an aptly named tool insofar as it helps you back up your data regardless of its type. It’s a practical tool without a doubt, and I especially appreciated its numerous options for configuration.
