Backup4All Alternative?
Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2025 3:51 am
Looking for backup software that can do incremental backups and output to zip files.
Requirements:
- Must output to .zip file (or similar but preferably zip for simplicity).
- Any proprietary output file format is unacceptable. I've got 1tb of an old easeus backup that I can't open and there's no way to recover anything. Never again.
- Nothing cloud based
- Must support scheduling and incremental backups
- Supports Windows 11 and bonus if it supports Linux too
- I'd prefer something with a gui
- Must have file/folder name filters so I can exclude folders like node_modules
So far Backup4All is the only software that meets my requirements but I'd rather not spend $70 for a new license just so I can use it on Windows 11. Looking for any alternatives.
