TaskZip Description

TaskZip is a lightweight Windows application built specifically for helping you back up your files and schedule the process.User interfaceLooks are not quite impressive as the GUI is plain. There’s support for a built-in wizard that guides you throughout the entire configuration process, so even rookies can learn to master the operation in no time. Creating a new backup jobTaskZip gives you the possibility to generate a new backup task by providing details about the name, selecting the saving directory, and choosing the desired backup type (full or incremental). What’s more, you can schedule the backup session by specifying the start time and frequency (daily, weekly, monthly), add the files that you want to save and apply filters by file extension (e.g. BMP, DAT, DOC, EXE, GIF, MP3, OCX, PPT, PDF), include subdirectories, as well as exclude specific items by specifying the file types. The tool enables you to compress data and export it to ZIP file format, keep a user-defined number of copies in addition to the current backup, and encrypt the compressed file by setting up passwords. If you don’t need to compress the file, you may simply copy the items to the destination. TaskZip lists all backup jobs in the primary panel and offers information about each one, such as name, start time, size, status, and date. Additionally, you may cancel, delete, or edit the selected task. Configuration settingsThe utility enables you to specify the maximum number of backup copies, cancel automatic backups, log the entire process, and add a third-party tool for opening the log. On the downside, it hasn’t been updated for a while, so it may cause compatibility issues on newer operating systems. Bottom lineTo sum things up, TaskZip comes bundled with a decent feature pack for helping you back up your files but it still needs some improvements in the GUI area to make the entire process more intuitive.
