File Backup

Fast, Lightweight, and File-Focused Protection.

Backing up the entire system may not be necessary in every scenario. Backupera File Backup is the ideal solution, especially for large file servers or cases where only project files are important. It is much lighter than image backup and uses minimal server resources (CPU/RAM). It automatically backs up your critical documents, drawings, database export files, or media archives according to your schedule. Thanks to the Versioning feature, you can revert a file to yesterday's or last week's version in seconds to undo an incorrect change.

Frequently Asked Questions

While image backup covers the entire system (OS, applications, etc.), File Backup focuses only on the critical files and folders you select. This allows backup operations to complete much faster, consume less storage space, and use minimal system resources (CPU/RAM).

Backupera supports leading cloud providers such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, as well as all S3-compatible storage areas. You can also store your backups on your local network NAS devices, USB disks, or a remote server.

Yes, thanks to VSS (Volume Shadow Copy) technology, your Excel sheets, Word documents, or other open files are backed up instantly without disrupting your workflow or experiencing inconsistencies.

Backupera intelligently compresses your files before transferring them. Additionally, with 'Block-Level Transfer' technology, when a file changes, it sends only the changed blocks instead of re-uploading the entire file, reducing your internet traffic and backup time by up to 90%.

Your data is protected with AES-256 bit encryption before it even leaves your computer. Additionally, by using 'Object Lock' in supported cloud storage areas, we make your backups 'immutable' (unchangeable) against ransomware and accidental deletion.

You can keep every change made to a file as a new version. This way, if you changed a file yesterday but want to return to its state from last week, you can select any point from the version history and restore it in seconds.

With our flexible scheduler, you can create daily, weekly, or minute-level periods. Additionally, you can automatically manage monthly and yearly archives of your data with GFS (Grandfather-Father-Son) retention policies.

The File Backup feature works fully and performantly on Windows (Desktop and Server versions), macOS, and all common Linux distributions.
