Cobian Backup is a system that allows us to create and manage backup copies of our computer, adding several exciting features to get all the necessary information from each copy. You will find a platform divided into two main screens, on one side showing the developed tasks and, on the other, the properties of each.

Thus, just by having the program available, you can review all the tasks being developed on one side. On the other, you will see their history, such as the event log of everything done. This aesthetic and visual situation dramatically simplifies the process of copying content, which is why we are in the presence of one of the best applications in the segment.

Once you have decided to create a new copy using this program, you will see that it will tell you which steps you must follow besides selecting the files you want to copy. You will have to choose again the type of copy you are interested in, as there are several different methods. And you will also have to determine a compression type, a particular encryption, and the necessary exclusions.

This platform also has a system of Advanced options , so to speak, thanks to which you can determine actions to be performed before or after the copies. You can execute the tasks with credentials corresponding to other users to have more freedom.

From the Tools menu of this system, you can access so many other utilities that we believe help to make the difference between this software and others that try to compete with it. For example, you can translate the system interface, delete certain contents, or access an integrated decompressor.

If you have contents stored on your hard disk and want to be entirely sure that nothing will happen to them even when your device gets damaged, you have to consider that we are in the presence of one of the complete options in the segment. And not only that, but it is also completely free, another advantage we cannot fail to consider, thinking that not everyone can afford to pay for their backups.

Some other attractive options we have found in Cobian Backup have to do with the possibility of allowing us to compress backups in ZIP format to take up less space than they would usually need. In the same way, if you want to be sure that no one can access them, you can also set a password as encryption so that you can be sure that you will not be affected by prying eyes.

Suppose you usually work with USB storage devices with this platform. In that case, you can send the backup directly to the terminal connected to your computer, so you don't have to do it later manually, wasting time. As you can see, this is an exciting alternative, perfect for completely customizing the whole process of generating our backups.

What happens if I want to make a backup but have to leave home immediately? Nothing serious since you can also schedule backups so your computer can carry them out even when you are not present. We liked this option a lot, especially since some users usually make backups regularly, and its mechanization can be positive.

Also, keep in mind that you will be able to work on your local hard disk and a network since this program has support for FTP, which is perfect for working on other computers or those we have in another location.

As for the interface of this software, we can say that we are in the presence of a program perfectly developed for novice users since it does not have more functions in sight than those that we consider essential among the others. Thus, although its aesthetics is not too modern or the best we have seen, it perfectly fulfills the initial premise of allowing us to access all its features easily.

In summary, we can say that the main reason to install Cobian Backup has to do with the fact that it has never been so easy to completely customize each of the options that make a backup of our computer's contents. Thanks to this tool, you can do whatever you want with your backups, compress them, send them to one directory or another, and many other alternatives.

In our experience of use, Cobian Backup has proved to be a stable program, which has not given us forced shutdowns or frozen screens and has allowed us to make all the backups we wanted without too many inconveniences. So, if you are looking for an assistant for your backups, you can be sure that this is one of the good alternatives you can find these days.
