Cobian Reflector is the successor of the old Cobian Backup. Cobian
Reflector is a multi-threaded program that can be used to schedule and
backup your files and directories from their original location to other
directories/drives in the same computer or other computer in your network.
FTP, FTPS and SFTP backup is also supported in both directions.
Cobian Reflector exists in two different versions: application and
service. The program uses very few resources and can be running in the
background on your system, checking your backup schedule and executing
your backups when necessary. Cobian Reflector is a file backup
application: it only copies your files and folders in original
or compressed mode to another destination, creating a security copy as a
result. That way Cobian Reflector can be better described as a "Scheduler
for security copies".
With Cobian Reflector you can automatically backup your files once, daily,
weekly, monthly, yearly or on a timer basis, using compression or not.
Incremental and differential backups are supported as well. You can also
save and open lists with different backup file sets.
The program creates a log file which optionally can be mailed to you
automatically.
Cobian Reflector has integrated compression capabilities, using the
standard Zip algorithm or Zip64 for large files. All the functions in the
program can optionally be password protected and the backup files can be
encrypted using one of the following methods: AES 256, AES 192, AES 128
When a folder is copied, you can specify a list with files to exclude from
the backup. You can also specify an event to occur before a backup starts
(for example, close a program) and an event after the backup ends
(example, start the same program). This can be useful if you need to
backup some file that is in use by another application.
The program is DPI independent and fully scalable and looks good even in high DPI monitors. Cobian Reflector runs under .NET 4.6 or newer (4.6.2, 4.7 etc).
