Synei Backup Manager 1.1

Overview

Synei Backup Manager is a way to protect users from data loss. Backups can be scheduled so they won't be forgotten when the week or weekend gets too busy. ZIP file archive compression can be used to crunch down the size of the backups and reduce the storage space requirements. Pick the folder(s) that should be backed up and where to send the backups to, and the backup will be sent to that folder location. Backups can be encrypted to protect the information from being accessed by someone else later on.

Backups can be completed quickly with Synei Backup Manager to a local drive, network drive or USB external drive. Backup modes is something new with this software where backups can be completely overwritten to save space or saved as a new backup so older backups are still retained.

Installation

The installation requires acceptance of their software license. The package requires 2.7 MB of available disk space to install it. Choose the installation folder to use or accept the choice shown. A Start menu item and desktop icon are then created (can be opted out of). Once installation has finished, the installer app offers to launch the application for the user.

Interface

The interface is pretty simple. A row of top-line menu items is show at the very top. Buttons and button labels are shown next: Add task, Edit task, Delete task, and Manage schedule.

Backup tasks can be added to the package to create a series of backups to be performed. Backups are setup by confirming which folders to backup and where to save the backup to. Therefore, it is possible to take personal finance spreadsheets in a documents folder and copy them over to Google Drive to be synced to the cloud every night, for instance. This level of personalized backup rather than a globalized solution is unusual and quite welcome.
