Key Features

Automatic backup system: TK8 Backup offers an automated backup system that enables users to effortlessly and efficiently back up their files and folders. Users can configure various backup tasks with specific settings, such as selecting the folders to back up, scheduling the frequency, specifying the number of previous backups to retain, and determining the storage location.

File backups: TK8 Backup is specialized file backup software designed to protect documents, files, and folders. Unlike full system backups, file backups are smaller and quicker to create. This feature allows users to restore individual files or folders without the need to restore the entire system.

Full, Incremental, and differential backups: In addition to full data backups, TK8 Backup supports incremental and differential backups. These backup methods only capture changed or added files since the last backup, resulting in smaller backup files and reduced disk space usage.

Security and Compression: TK8 Backup ensures data security through password protection and encryption. It employs 256-bit AES encryption to safeguard backups. Additionally, backups are automatically compressed using the widely supported ZIP format, significantly reducing disk space usage.

Back up to different types of storage: TK8 Backup provides flexibility in storing backups by supporting various storage options, including hard drives, local network drives, CDs, DVDs, USB discs, Zip drives, Jazz drives, and MO drives. For large backups that exceed the capacity of a single disc, the program can split them and save them across multiple discs. Users can also set up duplicate locations to enhance backup redundancy.

Off-site backups: Users have the option to automatically upload backup ZIP files to an off-site server using the built-in FTP client, ensuring data availability in the event of computer destruction. Alternatively, backups can be stored on online file storage accounts, such as free DropBox, providing secure off-site backup storage.

Scheduler to automate backup jobs: TK8 Backup features a scheduler that allows users to automate backup jobs on an hourly, daily, or monthly basis. Users can create backups with a single click or rely on the scheduler to ensure regular backups without the risk of forgetting. The program's folder monitoring system ensures that users always have the latest version of their important files.

Easy backup management: TK8 Backup not only simplifies backup creation but also provides intuitive backup management. The main screen displays a list of recent backups, allowing users to easily manage their backups, monitor space usage, locate backup files, and create additional copies on CDs or DVDs.

Quick restoring and self-extracting backups: TK8 Backup includes a built-in Restoring Wizard that streamlines the process of restoring data. Users can choose to follow the steps of the Restoring Wizard or utilize the Quick Restoring option, which restores backups to their original locations without any additional prompts. The program also offers the ability to create executable backups that include the restoring wizard, eliminating the need for additional software to restore data.

Features for advanced users: Advanced users can leverage additional features and options offered by TK8 Backup, such as source file filtering, backup of open files, unlimited backup file size, backup process logging, e-mail notifications, processor usage limits, system tray mode, hidden mode, an integrated CD and DVD burning tool, and an FTP management utility.
