How to backup
Choose What to Protect
Select from 7 role-based profiles that auto-configure the right folders for each user type. Then fine-tune with Smart Folders, cloud sources, and custom paths.
7 Profile Templates
Developer, Designer, Business, Gamer, Creator, Home User, or Custom
Smart Folders
Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music, Videos, AppData — auto-resolve on every machine
Cloud-Synced Folders
Back up Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud Drive, and Box for an extra layer of protection
Network Drives & Custom Paths
Back up NAS devices via UNC paths and any specific folder on any drive
Per-Folder Storage Tier Selection
Assign each folder to the right tier — optimize cost at the policy level.
Hot = instant access • Cold = ~40% cheaper • Deep Freeze = ~70% cheaper
Preset Exclusion Groups
One click to skip what you don't need. Enable instantly.
Also supports: Version Control, Log Files, Game Installations + custom glob/regex patterns
Skip the Junk. Back Up What Matters.
8 preset exclusion groups eliminate node_modules, temp files, system junk, and caches with a single toggle. Add custom patterns using glob wildcards, regex, or path variables.
- Save storage by skipping build artifacts and caches
- Custom regex patterns for complex rules
- Cross-platform path variables like {UserProfile}
- Exclude entire folders or specific file types

From every 15 minutes to once daily — choose the frequency that fits your risk tolerance. Restrict backups to specific time windows so they never slow your team down.
Optional Time Window
Restrict backups to run only during specific hours and days — keep office hours distraction-free.
