Go back "5 versions" of a particular file. Copy your documents to a network server for universal access or centralized backup storag (VD Backup Burning Software)e. Mirror one hard drive to another according to a schedule, without expensive disk mirroring hardware. Keep a copy of your documents on a CD.

This will make the software easier to use for both first-time and experienced users alike. More color coding - in addition to log entries being shown in color, backup jobs themselves show up in different colors to indicate their status, or custom colors per backup job Consolidation of similar features (DVD converter) - We found that the 'scheduled events' feature was actually very similar in functionality to the 'hardware profiles' feature so we consolidated these into one, while adding extensive new capabilities New "Tasks" page - allows quick and easy access to basic backup-related functions all one one screen New Backup Functionality Directory rename/move detection - instead of recopying all files in a directory that has been renamed or moved, FileBack PC can detect the rename or move operation and duplicate it during a backup. This saves time and disk space (Enterprise+) Backup encryption - prevent prying eyes from accessing your confidential data (Enterprise+) Shutdown/Logoff after backup - each backup job can be set to shutdown or logoff the computer at completion of that job. (Network+) Specify which events are logged - on a backup job-by-backup job basis Optional password protection - to prevent others from making changes to your configuration Better management of .FBCB files - FileBack PC is much more intelligent about how it manages .FBCB files when making changes to your backup configuration Archive old files - (new since some 3.x releases) Instead of deleting old files, they can be moved to a temporary archive folder and stored there for a certain amount of time, or until that folder reaches a predetermined size Backup simulation - Run through a backup to see exactly what will be performed without actually affecting any files Keep up to 999 versions of each file - up from 99 in version 3.x. Start and Stop system Services - Stop system services to backup associated locked files, restart after backup. (Enterprise; Administrator edition allows services on remote PCs to be managed) Backup Status Log Additional events logged - Such as backup-job specific statistics More preset options - With two mouse clicks, view a list of files copied or synchronized, errors that may have occurred during backups, a summary of the status of each backup job, log entries for today, yesterday, this week, or last week, and more "Find" feature - easily locate references to a file or folder, or even a specific backup job Filtering - Filter the status log by backup job, time and date, or key words "Reason" for files being backed up or synchronized added Lower memory usage - Only the entries added "today" are kept in memory. If older entries are needed, they are pulled from disk Keep log history as long as you would like - Log information is stored in separate files, one per day, and can be kept for whatever period of time you desire Additional right-click popup menu options - Export log data to a file, print log data, re-run a backup job, edit a backup job, open a folder or file, or even exclude a file or folder from future backup operations - all from the log Status Log During Backup More information displayed, including elapsed time during backup Multiple progress bars - individual progress bars for current group, current job, and current subfolder Event log visible during backup Backup Job Listing Color coded - For determining backup job status at a quick glance: easily determine which backup jobs are not completing as expected, jobs which haven't been run in over 30 days, or haven't been run since they have been modified "Group by" option - Display jobs with similar characteristics in groups "Info Window View" - View backup job history, statistics, or summary information right on the Backup Jobs page without navigating to the Status / Log page More powerful right-click menu - Many more options available in the right-click popup menu Drag-and-drop re-ordering of backup job run sequence Import and export jobs using .FBBJ files - exchange with friends, coworkers, or to get better technical support. Maximum Output Software will also be posting backup job templates on our web site that can be downloaded and integrated into your own backup configuration. Schedules / Triggers Replaces Scheduled Events and Hardware Profiles - while maintaining all of the functionality previously available Many triggers available - Run on a schedule, or when triggered by any of the available triggers: Toolbar buttons, keyboard shortcut keys, FileBack PC startup or shutdown, computer idle time, disk inserted, hardware profile change, hardware devices inserted or removed, power-related events Multiple actions per trigger - Similar to a simple scripting language, you can, for example, make a connection to a virtual private network, run a series of backup jobs, send an email, print out information from the log, then launch an external application. (Hard Drive Manager) All from the same trigger! Improved schedule editor - The user interface of the schedule editor has been improved and made easier-to-use "Config Files" page All-new to version 4.0 Allows backup jobs to be spread across multiple separate configuration files: one for the entire company, one for your department, and individual files.

With version 4.0, it will search your destination directories for backup job information files (.FBBJ) that are placed there during the backup. You don't have to worry about restoring your backup job configuration to get your data back. Destination Folder Cleanup Wizard Much faster - More than twice as fast as previous versions of FileBack PC More flexible - More search options for files to remove. You can now scan for and remove files and folders excluded from the backup Additional operations - Previously the only option available was to delete the files marked for removal. With version 4.0, you can also save the list of files or move the marked files to another location Cleanup.log file - Saved to disk each time the Folder Cleanup Wizard is run, so you can easily determine what happened during the last cleanup operation Technical Support Wizard Easily request help - from Maximum Output Software by running through the Tech Support Wizard.
