Freebyte Backup is a freeware backup program for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP. It allows one to easily copy (and filter) a large number of files and directories from various sources into one backup directory. It is possible to backup all files found in the specified set of input directories, or to have only certain file types copied. Files can be filtered according to file-extensions. With the optional 'Incremental backup' feature, the program only copies files which have not yet been part of a backup. It is also possible to specify a date, so that only files changes/created after a certain date/time are copied, or to only copy files if they are more recent than the corresponding files at the target location. Additionally, one can view a report which lists all the files; of each file one can see wether the files is copied or skipped, the file size, file date, source and target locations, total number of files copied, total number of bytes copied. For each backup set, a different profile can be created specifying different input and output directories and filter settings. Has command-line parameter for automatic and scheduled startup in combination with programs like Freebyte Task Scheduler.
