Cobian Backup is a multi-threaded program you can use to backup your files and directories from their original location to other directories/drives in the same computer or other computer in your network.
Cobian Backup exists in two different versions: application and NT service (NT/2000/XP).

You can automatically backup your files once, daily, weekly, monthly, or on a timer basis.

Cobian Backup has integrated compression capabilities, using the standard Zip algorithm. All the functions in the program can optionally be password protected.
