About

Malware, user errors, or hardware failures often spell the end for important files. Therefore, it is essential to create regular backups to have a safety copy to fall back on in case of an emergency. Discover how BackUp Maker simplifies the process of data backup. With BackUp Maker, you simply select the data you want to secure, configure automation if desired, choose the destination, and your documents are reliably backed up - either scheduled or based on specific events. Your data lands safely and compactly in zip format on hard drives, USB sticks, or in the cloud. To protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, BackUp Maker offers high-security encryption of up to 256-bit (AES). Additionally, the program allows for the secure offloading of your encrypted backups via SFTP or FTP/FTPS to a web server. BackUp Maker supports a comprehensive backup concept without restrictions. Secure only new and changed files, create multiple backup generations, distribute backups across various storage media, and perform custom actions before and after the backup.

Backup to your own storage/location, SFTP, FTP or cloud storage provider (Wasabi, Amazon AWS, Google Cloud Storage, Microsoft Azure, Backblaze B2, or other S3-compatible cloud providers). Comet’s modern ‘chunking’ technology powers client-side deduplication with no full re-uploads after the first backup. Backups are incremental forever—your oldest backup can restore just as fast as your most recent. No need for differentials or delta-merging. Data is compressed and encrypted during backup, transit and rest. Test drive Comet Backup with a 30-day FREE trial!

Why BackUp Maker is Better than Comet Backup

For Windows users and small businesses that want straightforward file-level protection rather than an MSP platform, BackUp Maker is the better fit: its free Standard edition supports private use, while Professional licensing permits business backups, and it creates AES-encrypted ZIP backups of files, folders, and entire drives that can be restored with Windows’ built-in ZIP support. It also schedules backups by time, interval, or system event and supports destinations including local media, network locations, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, FTP/FTPS, WebDAV, and SMB. By contrast, Comet Backup is designed around a required centralized management console and endpoint-based licensing for managed IT, multi-platform, and cloud backup deployments.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • BackUp Maker has a very clear layout, which is particularly helpful for those new to data backup. The programme guides you effectively through the process of setting up your own backup. Gradually, you realise just how many options the software offers. For example, the backup files can be stored in the cloud with 256-bit encryption or transferred to a server via FTP. The timing and frequency of the backups can also be specified in great detail. Certain events can also be taken into account in this process. Certain processes can be triggered before and after each backup. This can also be done using your own scripts, which are launched by BackUp Maker. However, if you prefer, you can also keep it simple.
  • Simple and easy to install Quick and usefull add/edit of backup sets It just works, works and works again A really great software product
