You can make scheduled backups with destination paths changing daily or weekly. Automatic backups can be started on logon, at a selectable time of day, on logoff or on shutdown. An alternate criteria is the archive bit of the files. Only new files and files with newer timestamps are saved. During the backup the program checks whether the file to be saved is newer than one already backed up. Performing the backup can be done manually or automatically.

Additional criteria are the selection by file type, file age and/or file name filter. All subfolders are included automatically, but the user can exclude or include any subdirectories from or in the backup by selection or by filter. The selection of the files to be backed up is made on a by-folder basis. You can configure and store as many backup tasks as you wish. This folder may be located on a local fixed or removable drive, on a Windows network server or on an FTP server. Personal Backup is a program for saving personal data to any destination folder.
