Files and Folder Backup for Windows
TKO Backup lets you create dedicated backup jobs for selected files and folders. The software supports several backup methods:
- Full backup — creates a complete copy of selected files and folders every time the job runs.
- Incremental backup — saves only changed or new files after the previous backup.
- Mirror backup — updates the destination to maintain a mirror copy of the selected source folders.
You can also configure automatic cleanup rules to keep only a defined number of full backup copies.
Drive Image Backup and Recovery Support
In addition to Files and Folder Backup, TKO Backup can create Drive Image Backup jobs. This makes it possible to protect an entire drive, including the operating system, installed programs, settings and personal files. Drive Image Backup is useful when you want an extra layer of protection against disk failure, system corruption, malware damage or other serious computer problems.
Backup to External Drives or Network Storage
TKO Backup supports backup destinations such as local disks, external USB drives, network storage, and shared folders on another computer or NAS device. For network backup jobs, you can specify a network path, username and password when required. The program can retry backup operations when a destination is temporarily unavailable.
Flexible Backup Scheduling
TKO Backup includes built-in scheduling options so backups can run automatically. You can schedule backup jobs by days of the week and use custom timetable entries. The software can also run a missed backup job as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed. For unattended backups, TKO Backup can optionally shut down the PC after a backup job is finished.
Smart Filters and Exclusions
TKO Backup gives you control over what is included in each Files and Folder Backup job. You can use extension filters to include only selected file types or exclude specific extensions. The software also supports backup exclusions, including excluded folders, hidden and system files, and locked or in-use files.
Restore Files from Backup Points
TKO Backup keeps backup history and restore information so you can choose a restore point when recovering files. For incremental and full backup jobs, this makes it easier to restore data from a specific backup version instead of manually searching through backup folders.
