The software uses PKZip Zip64 compression formats, which allows for backups larger than 4GB. It also supports 7-zip LZMA compression, which is fully compatible with freeware 7-zip file compressor. The software works on full, incremental, differential, stack backup types, and even sends backups via email. It also sends email notifications on error events of each backup job.
Finally, D_back offers a command-line mode and includes Backup Scheduler, which is an independent task scheduler that can run as a Windows service. This makes creating and maintaining backup jobs incredibly easy. And, in the rare event that you need it, the program offers easy data restoring.
