JaBack is a very cool free backup program which offers a nice set of features as standard. Not only will it synchronize folders automatically (useful for keeping an important folder backup up on the fly) but it also comes with a really sophisticated scheduler, which makes it a cinch to set up complex or simple archiving routines for your files and folders.

The user interface is great, lovely and clean, and the functionality works well. Because it backs up to .zip files you’re going to have to put up with a slower speed than the proprietary commercial programs, but that’s a small niggle for such a neat little tool. Definitely worth a download if you’re in the market for some useful backup software.

 Automate Backups of your important files and folders. The backup set is created in standard ZIP format. This allows flexibility in restoring the data using any zip software to unzip the backup set. Transfer your backup set to a remote location via Ftp or Email it to your mail server. Scheduler software is very easy to use, yet has very powerful scheduling, tasking and automation capabilities.
