Fair Backup

To achieve the maximum effect from your backups, choose and apply advanced backup settings right.

Backup compression

Compress your files if you want to save disk space, your time and sometimes bandwidth (when backing up to FTP). If you backup a small amount of files, small in size, you probably do not need to zip your files, unless you decide to for some other reasons.

Backup encryption

If you have files, which you’d like to limit access to, you can encrypt them with your backup program. Only using your backup tool and your password will help to decrypt the files. If you do not backup sensitive files, you probably do not need backup encryption, as it will only take your time.

Backup scheduling

If you backup often (most useful when backing up small sets of files, like work files), you will be able to free the time you spend on backups by using backup scheduling. After setting up a backup schedule your backup software will run backups for you - you will only need to check the program and backups if they ran fine.

Incremental backup

Backup incrementally to save your changed files to the same folder a your first (total) backup. This will ensure you backup only those files that required a backup - it allows saving your time greatly.

Differential backup

Employ differential backup to backup your modified files to a different folder every time. This not only saves your time a lot, but also ensures you have a set of file versions to ensure proper file restoration (to restore an error, done a few backups ago).
