Standard ZIP64 archives (unlimited in size) and self-extracting backups
Titan Backup doesn't use proprietary archive formats like other backup programs do. It uses the standard Zip file format. This makes it very easy to restore data manually form the backup archive even if Titan Backup is not installed. You can choose to create self-extracting archives that will allow you to unzip even if you don't have a compression tool. Titan Backup can also create backups without compression for faster processing and more redundancy. The files and folders structure is always preserved. You can create zipped backups with any source files size (you can compress files larger then 4 GB). Incremental and differential support also for zip compression. After you run a backup the first time, you can backup and compress only changed files (incremental). This feature works with any destination (CD/DVD, FTP, Local and LAN). You can also create a compressed backup with multiple hard-drives as destination (span over multiple partitions).
256-bit AES strong encryption to secure you backed up data
Titan Backup uses military strength 256-bit AES strong encryption to protect backed up data privacy. AES encryption algorithm has been adopted by NIST as an FIPS-approved (Federal Information Processing Standard) symmetric encryption algorithm that should be used by U.S. Government organizations (and others) to protect sensitive information.
Version control, incremental and differential backups to back up only new/changed files, or to delete from the current backup the files that don't exist anymore in the source location
Titan Backup provides a version control mechanism that allows you to backup only changed files. You can always view the differences between the current files and the last backup in a special view box that marks them in different colors. It can operate in incremental or differential modes to back up only new/changed files, or to delete from the current backup the files that don't exist anymore in the source location.
Before / After commands
You can select external programs to run before the backup will start or after it ends. Also there is the possibility to shut down the computer automatically after the backup task is done.
File filtering to backup only the exact files you need
Users can filter selected files using filename masks, for instance users can choose to backup only .doc files in a certain folder or exclude all .exe files from another folder.
Backup to virtually any storage device: local folders, Local Area Network (LAN), CD/DVD, removable devices ( USB sticks, memory sticks, flash memory, floppy disks, ZIP disks, JAZ, etc.), remote FTP servers
Titan Backup allows you to backup on internal or external hard disks, on local area network locations, CD/DVD media, removable media devices ( USB sticks, memory sticks, flash memory, floppy disks, ZIP disks, JAZ, etc.), remote locations using FTP with upload auto-resume. If you backup to a CD/DVD, you can set a pattern label for this disk, so that you can later identify easily what backup is on this disk or when was it created (just by looking at the label).
Backup Windows Registry
You can include your Windows registry in the backup. Important notice: this feature should be used with caution, as restoring the Registry can be very dangerous for a novice user and can crash the system.
Built-in easy-to-use task scheduler so that your backups can be automatically created independent from your presence in front of the computer
While the Windows' scheduling agent is quite advanced, it can be difficult to use. Titan Backup makes it easier for you to schedule your backups from basic (such as running a task on a specified day and time) to very advanced settings.
Email notifications while the backup task is running and when the task is completed
You can configure Titan Backup to send notification email on errors, warnings or summary reports of a successfully finished backup task. Additional options allow you to attach the backup log file and send the email to several addresses. Email notification feature uses custom outgoing SMTP server.
Detailed logs of all backup operations
Titan Backup writes local logs of all backup operations, so you can determine what was backed up, start & end times, elapsed times, summary information, operation status, possible warnings and errors. The General Log contains general information about all of your tasks (start time, end time, error and warning messages). General log can be sorted by date. You can obtain information about your activities for a day or for a week, you can see what tasks finished today for example, and how they finished (successfully, with errors or warnings). You can export this general log into a text file or into a html file.
Synchronize operations of your data
Titan Backup offers you a synchronization engine for staying up to date with your data: you can synchronize data between your work laptop and personal computer for having latest versions of your projects on both locations; or by having a mirroring to ftp or a memory stick.
NEW: Task Hints that quickly show task details, and Tray Popup Window with jobs status and progress
When you are over a task with your mouse, a hint will be appear with information about this task (Task type, destination, compression mode for a backup, elapsed time and time remaining if the task is running). When a task starts, or stops, you are informed by a sliding pop-up window on the bottom-right corner of your display. You can see if your task finished running (or a scheduled task is started), even you work with an other application, an other window. Also you can see the task progress in the taskbar, or by moving the mouse over the tray icon.
