Backing up your files is like ensuring your house against floods or earthquakes. You can never know when and how something may go wrong and you may lose important data. If you have a hard time choosing the right software for this task, you might want to look at Ocster Backup. It provides a fast and effective solution for saving data from potential harm.

The software is available in both Pro and free versions. It may take some time to download the 22 and a half Mb kit if your Internet connection is slow and installing it will also take an extra minute or two. As far as compatibility or system requirements go, you can run the software on most Windows versions, and you won't need top of the line hardware to do so.

Having Ocster Backup up and running may take longer than other similar software, but the wait is definitely worth it. The program will not waste your time with a complex interface, endless menus or overcrowded options screens. It has a wizard like design, so you will be guided all the way with clear instructions. When you launch the software, you will have three options at your disposal: create a backup, restore one or manage existing ones.

When creating a backup, you can store it the traditional way, on your hard drive or you can store it online, using the Ocster Secure Storage service. If you choose to store it on your hard drive, the wizard will ask you for an output path. Alternatively, you can import a previously created backup plan, during the same step. After selecting the files you want to back up, you can choose to encrypt and protect them with a password.

Before starting the process, you can set up a backup schedule, on a daily or weekly basis. When the process starts, it may take some time to finish, but you can be assured that your data will be safe. If you lose data due to hardware failure or any other reason, you can restore your data at any time. Just run the program, choose the Restore Backup option and select a created backup plan.

Pros

It may take longer than expected to install the program or to create backups, but the process is very effective. There is no way you can get lost in the program's options. A wizard will guide you step by step and it will provide clear instructions.

Cons

It takes a bit long to install the software, which may be an issue for impatient users. Your data is safe with Ocster Backup. In a few simple steps, you can back up any file and you can restore it at any time in case you lose the original files.
