Of course, just as expected, there are multiple backup modes supports, including full, differential, incremental and dummy, with dedicated settings for each of them.
But first, the interface. Although the application is supposed to address such an important task, that of creating backups, Cobian Backup Boletus is pretty intuitive and has a well-organized look.
It shows all details of a new task straight in the main window, but also gives you access to all of its features with just a single click.
Setting up a new task is very easy and lets you configure the files or folders you wish to backup, but also enable Volume Shadow Copy, use file attribute logic or create separate backups using timestamps.
Of course, you have to specify source and destination, and, if you wish, enable the scheduler and provide the days of the week, date and time to perform the operation.
You also have the option to use archives and choose 7z or ZIP compression, along with password protection, encryption and split settings. Last but not least, you can configure file exclusions and other tasks to be performed before the backup begins.
Cobian Backup Boletus boasts a very rich settings menu, with configuration options regarding the engine, compression, functionality, visuals and FTP.
In addition, the application supports remote backup and comes with a dedicated tool to remove old backups and show backup history.
As a conclusion, Cobian Backup Boletus is one of the best software solutions when it comes to backups and one of the few that provide so many features with a freeware license.
Cobian Backup description
Cobian Backup is a multi-threaded program that can be used to schedule and backup your files and directories from their original location to other directories/drives in the same computer or other computer in your network. FTP backup is also supported.
Cobian Backup supports several methods of compression and strong encryption. Cobian Backup exists in two different versions: application and service. The program uses very few resources and can be running on the background on your system, checking your backup schedule and executing your backups when necessary.
Cobian Backup is not an usual backup application: it only copies your files and folders in original or compressed mode to other destination, creating a security copy as a result. So Cobian Backup can be better described as a "Scheduler for security copies".
