Restore
You can quickly restore any file version, the latest version of the files or a whole folder from
the backup job.
If you have a large backup that spans over several removable media (CD/DVD, floppy) each
spanned backup can be independently restored. Thus, if one of the spanned backups is
corrupted you can still restore the other files.
Compatibility
Restore can also be performed via any standard zip software, giving you more flexibility, if you
need to restore on a different computer (if the backup was created using independent splits,
see this section on how to restore correctly using 3rd party zip utilities).
One touch backup
Some USB enclosures have a button to start the execution of an associated program. If you
have such a device, you can configure Backup4all to execute a backup job or a backup group
when this button is pressed.
Play custom sounds
Backup4all can play custom success/warning/error sounds at the end of the backup.
File warnings
File warnings like access denied, locked files, etc. are displayed to the user during backup
execution if the user chooses so. These warnings are also written to the log file. Scheduled
backups do not show these warnings even when this option is set. Default is checked.
Backup catalog
Backup4all stores a summary snapshot of the file information into a backup catalog file (.bkc)
each time a backup job is run. For every file backed up, the snapshot contains the file name,
size and attributes as well as the date and time of creation, modification and access. The
backup catalog is stored both locally and remotely (for backups to removable media or remote
locations).
