A few weeks back we reviewed SyncBackSE and we thought maybe some of you might prefer free backup software, which is where Cobain Backup 9 comes in. Cobain Backup 9 is a software designed to backup the files etc on your computer, and can be downloaded for free! The download is small so it doesn’t take very long and the installation process is very simple and quick.
Creating tasks for the tool to do couldn’t really be much simpler. You select add task from the task menu. Then you have the option to do many things, for example:
- Name the task (E.g. My Documents Backup)
- Select what you would like to be backed up (including particular files as well as folders and drives)
- Select where you would like the files backed up to
- Select when you would like the files to be backed up and how often
- Encrypt or Compress the backup
Cobain Backup 9 also allows you to clone tasks. This means that you copy all the characteristics of a task to make a second task of the exact same nature. Then you can edit the task to adapt it to your demands. For instance, if you want to create a very similar task to one which has already been created, simply clone it and then edit it. A great tool.
In our opinion Cobain Backup 9 is a great tool, it’s not necessarily up to the standard of Second Backup, but Cobain Backup 9 is free!
