Backup process is very important in computing as it minimizes the risk of losing important data when disaster strikes. But it could be a slow and arduous process if the amount of data that need to be protected is huge. In this review, we recommened a freeware, Cobian Backup, that helps to automate our backup process and saves us a lot of time. It can be used for synchronization of files between two locations as well.
We are aware of the existence of some online backup services that offer convenient backup of files to internet servers on a secure location. However, they didn't quite interest us, because to enable backup or restoration of files at anytime, the site need to have 100% uptime which is technically impossible. And using such a service would mean we are betting on the financial stability of the company and pray that they will not go bust within the lifetime of our data. Lastly, the storage space given is usually limited.One should also not rely on the software on our USB drive. Because some of these software choose what files to backup by themselves. This isn't helpful to us. Different drives have different software, that always takes time to configure. None of them offer the sophisticated options that Cobian Backup offers. Yet Cobian is very efficient in memory usage and also user-friendly. Since we started using Cobian we have deleted our backup batch file scripts.
