There are many ways to back up personal files on a Windows computer, probably too many. Yet here comes another option in the form of Back4Sure, and guess what? We kind of like it, you know.
Back4Sure is Windows freeware that easily backs up your important data, documents, pictures, audio, video, and other files. We can say for certain that Back4Sure does what it sets out to do and is even better than the built-in Windows backup tool. Now, we’re not saying the default option is bad; it’s just that Back4Sure is a better option.
Back4Sure is free backup software for Windows
Back4Sure makes it possible to copy any file to another section of the computer’s hard drive, or to another hard drive instantly. Instead of having to highlight what you may want to copy to the new drive, the app allows the user to click on checkboxes to get started and then simply copy the selected documents and files to the new drive.
The option to choose individual files or whole directories for backup is available. Apart from that, we like how the Back4Sure user interface is very clean and clutter-free. Unfortunately, not many files similar to this can have us saying that. Still, it is not pretty on the eyes, but then again, this shouldn’t be much of a problem as long as the app works as intended.
Apart from backing up files, Back4Sure can also clean up duplicate files, compress any number of documents, and perform other minor features.
We have come to understand that the app uses a special utility tool to backup files. It looks a lot like any Windows utility tool, but the main difference here is that it gives the user enough information while working in the background.
The downside of this tool is that users will be forced to click a button to finish the backup instead of it doing the job automatically. The default backup utility and other related apps can do this, so we are left wondering why Back4Sure is unable to.
Chances are this feature might find its way in by the next update. It is very important for the sake of convenience, so we see no reason why the developers will refuse to make plans to add it later on.
Back4Sure could use a modern user interface, but then again, a flashy UI could cause slow performance. So far, the app is easy to use, and we recommend anyone who wants to back up their personal files, among other things, give it a spin.
