Both console (CLI) and graphical user interface (GUI) versions are included. Uses plain file copy without creating any backup catalog files to copy or version files. You always know where files are be copied and are stored. No dependencies to restore files, just copy required files back to their original location. If requesting shadow copy fails because another process is already requesting Copiaris tries again after short wait instead of returning failure.

Arq
Arq
We believe you shouldn't have to give up your privacy or control to get the benefits of the cloud. Arq backs up your files to a cloud account you already have, or attached disk, or both, with strong, end-to-end encryption so your data are only readable by you. Arq uses filesystem snapshot technology to make perfect, point-in-time backups of your files, even if your files are changing during the backup process. Arq keeps multiple backups of your files — a backup history. So if you discover a file was corrupted, or accidentally deleted, or encrypted by a ransomware attack, you can go back and get the old version. Arq Backup integrates with many different cloud providers. So if you have a cloud account with some extra space available, use it for encrypted, versioned backups of your important files.

yCopy2
yCopy2
yCopy2 is a backup/sync tool with multi-threading and a rich set of command-line variables. Warning: the SYNC option will recursively delete files & folders from the destination path which aren't present on the source. Use with caution, and experiment with unimportant files first. I've been using yCopy2 to back up my stuff for a couple of years now, but that doesn't mean the program will suit your needs. Use this software at your own risk. Due to a limitation in Microsoft .Net, yCopy cannot back up files where the source or destination path + filename is longer than 256 characters. E.g. C:\Temp\etc\etc\more stuff\(to a depth of 256 chars)\Some really long file name.doc. A network mode where yCopy2 will communicate in a client-server fashion, speeding up lan backups. Built-in scheduling to run backups at specified intervals. Compatible with Windows 7 SP1 and newer.
