Small backup archives

Your time is important. Large storage devices are expensive. Your information is growing exponetially. That's why you usually have to buy larger storages for backup archives, or spend a lot of time inserting standard removable disks. We give you a third way: automatically backup your information with existing backup storage (disks, Online storage, ...).
How? By using a number of unique technologies:
Traditional backup software saves the entire file, no matter how small any changes you may have made within your files. It means what you have to store or send LARGE files every time you back up. The revolutionary patch mode is a clever incremental backup: EaseBackup compares two versions of the files, and generates a patch file with the changes you have made. In other words, this technology will allow you back up a very small file, with only your changes. The combination of Patch technology, and built-in standard compression will often result in an 80% to 90% reduction in backup file size. EaseBackup is a the first low cost backup software implementing this technology! Read more...
You may ask "Why do I need an Intellectual splitter, in addition to a Hard (simple) one?".
Let's imagine: You are backing up all your files. As a result, the size of the backup archive is more than
the size of your CD, ZIP or other removable disks. Well, a normal decision would be
to split the archive file into several small volumes. A hard splitter will simply divide a large file
into smaller volumes of the same size. The backup software copies them to removable disks and
everybody is happy... until you lose your data: at the most critical moment, you have to
find enough free space to merge files back (don't forget that Hard splitters do
not look into the backup archive, and all they can do is split one file into a few volumes. This makes it
impossible to restore the files without merging all volumes back together before hand. Sad?
But that's not the worst of the situation: the worst situation is when you have lost a volume
(the disk may be corrupted, or somebody deleted it by mistake). As a result you
can't restore ALL files from the backup archive.
Moreover, if you want to restore just one file, you have to download all the volumes, and then merge them.
To remove these restrictions, EaseBackup uses an Intellectual splitter. The wizard makes self-independent volumes, which you don't need to merge before doing a restore. And one more point: when the size of the independent volume exceeds the target volume size, EaseBackup uses the Hard splitter only for that volume.
As result of these two technologies, it's possible to backup considerably more information using the current amount of backup storage.
