Data loss is still a concern for most people so it stands to reason that backing up their most important files is the best measure they can take in order to prevent complete disruption of their workflow for a long period of time.

In addition, given the numerous backup solutions that they can resort to, no one should risk going without the occasional duplication of their files. One such program is Backup4all Standard, a comprehensive tool with several different functioning modes to cater to users' particular needs.

The application features a fairly accessible, ribboned interface, being reminiscent of the Microsoft Office 2007 GUI, so users should experience little difficulty in handling it, from the first run.

Structured into separate tabs for ‘Jobs’, ‘History’, ‘Scheduler’ and ‘Layout’, Backup4all Standard places all of its functions and customizable options within easy reach, with the main window listing existing jobs and allowing users to edit them or create new ones.

For setting up new backup jobs, the utility relies on a wizard which will guide users through the main steps of the process, specifically naming it and picking a destination folder, selecting the source directory or files, opting for a mode (‘Smart’, ‘Full’, ‘Differential’ or ‘Mirror’) and an occurrence pattern.

Moreover, Backup4all Standard enables users to create shortcuts for specific jobs, so they can run them easier, on demand or a schedule. Should the time come when users need to work with previously backed up data, they can use the ‘Restore’ function, with several options for it, namely ‘Latest Version’ or ‘Latest Version To’.

What should also be noted is the fact that the program can backup data directly to removable memory devices, such as discs. The destination can even be a network drive, an FTP account or even a USB stick.

In summary, Backup4all Standard is a reliable and efficient piece of software that conscientious users can resort to for duplicating important files and preparing for the unlikely event in which all their data is lost.
