What does this mean to you?
If you are looking for a PC backup solution that is easy to use and easy to configure they Backup4All will live up to it's name for you. By default there are many preconfigured setting already in place for you to start with, like My Documents, My Pictures, IE Favorites, etc... If this is all you need to backup then a one click motion is all you need to perform. You can backup to a CD/DVD/Blu Ray or to an FTP account, SFTP or any USB thumb drive.
Basically anything you want to backup can be scheduled to do so automatically when you want it to. With built in file protection, if the disc should ever fall into the wrong hands you will be safe.
