Overview

Welcome to the backupCOMAND Feature Tour.

backupCOMAND makes backups:

• Reliable.  Backup servers are located at Tier-1 hosting facilities and provide multiple levels of fail-over and redundancy.
• Secure.  Files are first encrypted using private key 448-bit Blowfish encryption and then sent over a secure SSL encrypted connection to the backup server.
• Automatic.  Scheduled backups can be performed daily or weekly at the time(s) you specify.

Simple Interface

The backupCOMAND interface is simple.  In fact, backups are completely automatic under normal operations and do not require any manual intervention.

However, if you'd like, you can easily check on the status of your previous, current or next backup, or manually start, cancel, configure or restore backups from the Status Window.  The Status Window can be displayed at anytime by simply clicking on the small backupCOMAND icon in the lower-right of your screen.

Backup Sets

The files to backup are selected through backup sets.  A backup set defines a group of files by their location on a drive and/or their types, such as Word Documents, Photos or Emails.

A number predefined backup sets are available to backup common files.  Custom backup sets can also be created easily for unique situations.

File System

backupCOMAND also allows you to select specific drives, folders and files for backup from their location in the standard Windows file system.

Schedule

Scheduled backups can be performed daily or weekly at specified times.  Alternatively, backups can start automatically after your computer or internet connection is not in use, or is used below a specified threshold for a certain amount of time.

backupCOMAND also lets you temporarily suspend scheduled backups, or will alert you about missed backups.

Options

Completely customize backupCOMAND to your preferences.  The default settings are usually sufficient for typical users, but more than a dozen options give more selective users control over every last detail, including activity notifications and warnings, automatic software updates, Windows integration, bandwidth limiting and more.

History

Restore

backupCOMAND makes it easy to restore previously backed up files.  In addition to restoring the latest version of a file, you can also select previous versions of a file backed up within the last 30 days.

• Right-click on a file in Windows to restore that file to a previously backed up version.
• Open "My Computer" and browse a special backup drive that displays all of your backed up files as if it were a local drive.
• Login from any web browser and restore files when you are not at your computer or do not have access to backupCOMAND.  Search for files by name or location and then select the files to restore from the web.
