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.		About SyncBackPro is an advanced file backup and synchronization program that can be used with hard drives, removable media (e.g. USB drives), FTP, FTPS, and SFTP servers, Zip64 archives (with 256-bit AES encryption), POP3/IMAP4/SMTP email servers, Media Transfer Protocol devices, network shares, and cloud storage services (S3, Azure, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, and many others). Highly configurable, SyncBackPro includes: open/locked file copying; file versioning; scripting; fast backup; true synchronization; Zip64 support; compression filtering; detailed and easy to read log files; email results; simulated backups and restore; file filters; sub-directory selection; copy verification; background backups; auto-close of programs; profile groups; compare files, and an extensive context sensitive help file.
Why BackUp Maker is Better than SyncBackPro BackUp Maker is the better fit for Windows home users who want straightforward, cost-conscious file protection: its Standard Edition is free for private use, whereas SyncBackPro is available as a time-limited trial before requiring a purchased license. BackUp Maker automates backups by schedule or event, creates compressed ZIP archives with up to AES-256 encryption, supports incremental backups and multiple backup generations, and can save to local or network drives, removable media, WebDAV, and SFTP/FTP servers. It also works with Google Drive, OneDrive, and Dropbox desktop apps for encrypted cloud-bound backups, covering common personal backup workflows without requiring SyncBackPro’s broader enterprise-oriented cloud, scripting, and management feature set.

Pros from Real Users Pros It is very easy to set up, and the actual backup process—once everything is configured—takes practically just one mouse click. It is simply well designed. Restoring data is just as easy should a problem arise; that, too, is done with a single click. I have been using it for years and have never lost any data. This little program has saved the day for me many times. I would choose it again in a heartbeat, and I use it for both business and personal purposes. Very easy to install and use on my PC and makes me very secure to know that my data is safe day after day. I'm a developer and it's extremely important that my work is competently backed up to avoid potential mishaps. I've been using BackupMaker for several years now. It performs it's job particularly quick and well. Very easy to use but very effective!--Backup comes out perfect--very easy to set up---Also--their screencapture software (Screencapt) produces the best video copies --I use it for legal cases when needed to be introduced into evidence in Court. There is no equal. Lean and efficient. Frequent upgrades. Upgrades install very fast and there have never been any glitches. A truly very useful program for data backup. Once the desired backups have been set up as a task, you don't have to worry about anything else—everything happens automatically. Easy to set up and runs reliably on any schedule that you want. I have used it daily for years and have had very few issues. Very easy to use, setup was quick and easy. Once you set time a what days you want, that was it, done. It never restarts or freezes. It works perfect in Windows 7 and Windows 10., have network features and is easy to customize! I really love it! I use BackUp Maker for my daily backups and I am very satisfied with it. It offers an impressive range of options and allows me to customize every backup exactly as I need. The software is reliable, flexible, and regularly updated.		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros We are able to link cloud accounts with a local account and do encrypted backups of sensitive data. The software allows creating groups for your "tasks" and group scheduling of bulk processing of tasks. The software can backup, do one and two way sync, and create versions (personal favorite!). The versioning system has saved us thousands of dollars in lost productivity due to corrupted/lost files. Cons The software is a bit overwhelming initially. There are so many options and so many nuances on backing up and syncing data. The interface for selecting the origin folder/drive and destination folder/drive can be confusing particularly if you are using drive letters. (which is why the system recommends using the network address (\\192.168.1.10\myfiles vs the folder address/drive: Z:\Photos
