Backups are essential so that users can keep the most critical files and contents stored on their computer protected in case of any problem with these computers. Generally, it is recommended to use specific software for this type of task, but we know that many of them are complicated. And so, if you are looking for a simple alternative, BackUp Maker is one of the ones you should look into.

As is evident, BackUp Maker is a program that has been designed so that you can make the backups you want without having to become an expert along the way, so even novices can make use of it. With guided procedures at all times, this tool can offer compressed backups to occupy less space at their destination, as well as protection through the use of passwords and even automatic encryption functions so that no one can access your documents.

How it works

One of the things we liked the most about BackUp Maker, considering that we consider it almost a must for this type of service, is that it allows us to choose removable drives as destination folders for those backup copies. If you wish, you can also select other options, such as CDs, DVDs, and remote FTP servers, so its compatibility is absolute.

In the same way, with BackUp Maker, it is also possible to schedule backups, which we believe can be very useful, especially when they are too large. Otherwise, the system may consume too many of your computer's resources, making it almost unusable. For this reason, if you will perform a vast backup, let it take place when you are away from home.

BackUp Maker's operation scheduling is twofold since you can set the processes to be carried out on a specific day and time and also about different events your PC goes through. For example, you can configure this utility to start a backup copy every time you insert a USB memory into your computer so that you don't have to launch it manually.

Then, so that you have absolutely no doubt about the tasks you carry out with BackUp Maker, you can specify to send you an email every time you perform a backup. So, not only will you be able to keep track of all the backups you have made, but also, if someone logs into your account, you will know immediately.

BackUp Maker will allow you, whenever you want, to restore those backup contents, no matter if you have them stored on a USB drive, on a physical disk, on an FTP server, or anywhere else.

BackUp Maker's user interface may not aspire to be the best in its segment, but it is nevertheless well done. At all times, it is easy to find the main functions it offers, while using colors and icons gives it a personality that is not always distinguished in this type of application.

Keep in mind

BackUp Maker is a free platform, as long as the use you want to give it is personal, without having relevance to the number of computers you own in which you take advantage of it. However, if you're going to benefit from its functions for commercial or professional purposes, you must purchase a license through the creators' website.

The best

BackUp Maker has many salient points that we would like to dwell on, although if it comes to pointing out some, in particular, we have to talk first of all that it is simpler to use than other similar utilities. In the same way, the support for all types of hosting sites for our content, both for storing and recovering backups, has it one of the best exponents of the market in this regard.

The worst thing

BackUp Maker does not have significant shortcomings that are sufficient to discourage its use, although we can say that in general terms, it is a service that shows that it has not been updated for some time. In other words, it complies with all aspects we could demand from a backup system, and yet, it is possible that the fierce competition in this category does not leave it standing so well.
