Auto backup 5.0

This small low CPU usage program will automatically backup your USB flash drives when they are plugged into your computer or laptop. The program starts up with your computer and monitors which USB devices are plugged in. The program keeps an individual backup for each USB device, and can be configured to keep more than one backup of a device so that you can return to a previous file stage should the original become corrupt.

You are able to stop and restart backups quickly with the system tray icon, allowing you to prevent backing up of a device if it is a friends or you dont require a backup. The icon in the system tray changes depending on the state of the program, this makes it easy to identify whether a backup is taking place.

The program keeps backups in five day periods, you can select how many of these backup copies you wish to keep on your computer, the program will automatically remove the oldest of the backups if you have more copies than you have specified. The more copies you specify to keep the more hard drive space is required but it is easier to return to a valid file if your original is corrupted or deleted.

Version 5 brings yet more control to your figure tips, the new options page allows you to quickly change the backup directory and the number of backup copies you wish to keep. It also allows you to specify which drives you always want to backup, those you never want to backup, and those that you should be asked about.
If you don't specify whether you want a backup for a particular device to be made a small dialog box will appear at the bottom of your screen when the device is plugged in, asking you whether you wish to make a backup or not. Simply click yes or no, for this action to be made every time the device is plugged in click on the remember this setting box.

There is a backup feature that allows you to right click on any file or folder and select Send To, Backup. This will make a backup of the selected items in your backup directory.
