Backing You Up

You may not be concerned with backing up your files now, but when you accidentally overwrite or erase that big proposal, you’ll wish you’d taken the time to download one of today’s featured applications.

This week we’ll look at a few free options that can help safeguard your important files.

xbSync

XbSync is a simple file synchronization app. By adding a folder or two to the source folder window, you can back them up with a touch of a button to your specified directory. It works and allows you to set preferences and record logs.

Synk

If you’re looking for something more in the way of interface, Synk might be a better choice. With a nice tabbed interface, Synk includes archive options and reverse backup options that are a little more user-friendly.

DejaVu

If you the absent-minded type and you’re telling yourself you’d never remember to actually use one of the above programs, then DejaVu might be the solution for you. DejaVu is actually a preference pane that allows you to schedule automatic backups. So, if you’re the absent-minded type, DejaVu might be the solution for you. Hey….

So, whatever your choice, be sure to back up your important files.
And brush your teeth.
