With the rise of faster broadband, companies have realised it’s now realistic to enable web users to backup their content online. There are various suppliers providing an online account with GBs of space that enable you to safeguard your most important files, such as your digital audio tracks, accounts and word documents. You can quickly restore this data back to just about any computer, when you authorise it with your online account.

Some people to work with their files manually rather than use a tool to automatically backup their information. For this reason, you may prefer to use a tool that will backup your files to a ZIP archive, before you place them on your remote site, online storage or burn to disc.

DFIncBackup is a tool that will enable you to backup your files to a ZIP archive. Better still, you can do this incrementally, so you only need to backup the files updated since your last backup. This means that if you backup your digital audio tracks at the end of every week, it will only take minutes rather than hours to perform the routine.

Note that the download here is for the free DFIncBackup Home which enables you to backup to a maximum ZIP archive of 2GB. The Standard and Professional editions will allow a larger archive, backup directly to disc and much more.
