This software also has ZIP64 support and creates standard zip files, meaning that you can access it with any zip compatible utility. Backup2 FTP lets you encrypt your backups using a password to protect them from unauthorized access.
Backup2 FTP keeps track of file versions, making it easy for you to restore any version of files or a whole folder. You are able to filter files to be restored. Finally, when a backup is completed, Backup2 FTP automatically tests it to ensure the backup is safe and executed correctly. Backup2 FTP runs on 2000/2003/XP/Vista/Windows 7 and offers multi-language support.
Overall, this software is a great backup tool for anyone looking for secure and customizable backup options on Windows.
