Automatic USB Backup Portable

Automatic USB Backup Portable is a lightweight software application specialized in backing up files to portable media devices like USB flash drives using automatic actions.

Portable version

This is the portable edition of Automatic USB Backup that comes with several benefits to your system. It doesn’t store entries in your Windows registry and leave configuration data in your system.

There’s no installation setup included in the process, so you may get rid of it using simple deletion actions.

Wizard-like approach

The programs employs a virtual assistant that offers step-by-step guidance during the configuration process. You can plug in your USB drive to your computer, select the drive and view information about the total size and free space.

Pick a suitable backup task

You are allowed to define the action that is performed when the USB is plugged into the computer automatically.

You may back up the local drive (new and updated local files are copied to the USB), back up the USB drive (new and updated files on the USB are copied to the local drive), synchronize (new and updated items are copied to and from the USB drive; useful for syncing files between multiple computers via your USB), or restore data (all files are copied from the USB drive, overwriting local copies).

Additionally, you can make the application ask what to do. Automatic USB Backup Portable lets you select the folders and files you want to include in the archive, enable the ZIP compression algorithm to gain more space, and password-protect your archive.

Automatic startup and real-time monitoring mode

The utility is able to automatically back up data on drive insertion at program startup. However, if you want to use your portable media device for other purposes and prevent a backup task, you may delay the process based on a custom number of seconds. Users may be prompted to confirm a successful backup/restore session.

The real-time monitoring mode can be used for keeping an eye on files on your computer and USB drive. In case of new files or modifications, the tool creates a copy of the file into the backup immediately. You may still work on your documents while the backup is running.

Safety measures

Automatic USB Backup Portable is able to save backups of the files that are overwritten so you can easily restore valuable data. You may pick the saving folder and limit the maximum size of the files. Additionally, you may enable or disable the Windows AutoPlay mode that automatically scans portable media devices.

Efficient backup utility

All in all, Automatic USB Backup Portable offers seamless backup solutions and makes the process seem a piece of cake. It is mainly geared towards first-time backup users who are looking for a tool that can perform backup tasks automatically without having to intervene and configure complex configuration settings.
