Idlebackup is a backup solution for common automatic and manual file and folder backups. Files can be saved to a drive, network, or subfolder. By default, the program mirrors file and folder content but available ZIP compression also includes versioning and either separate or a single ZIP file.

Restored files can be sent to their original location or a specified folder. Backup scheduling is limited to a single time cycle, by default every 120 seconds.

Note: Main site offline, linking to the mirror for the last portable version (V1.16d). Later versions write settings to user profile folder.

Still a great program even 8 years later. Although I still prefer AutoVer, this is an excellent alternative.

Idlebackup is excellent - runs in the background and backs up onto a thumb drive or external hard drive, perfect for peace of mind.

Like to give it a go but link down and so is the developer's site. All I can find is 1.18 and a lowly 1.10.

Anyone have 1.16d to post please?

Intelligent, simple, and easy. So far my favorite backup program on the site.
