SmartBackup copies files and folders from one location to another on the same drive, another drive, or across the network. You can set up Tasks that describe the source location, the destination location, and the frequency at which you want to copy the files. SmartBackup monitors the source files for changes or additions and then automatically copies the new or changed files to their designated destinations. The program uses the familiar Windows Explorer interface. The Task setup dialog box is easy and intuitive, that makes configuration jobs a snap.
*Appears to be a "real time" and scheduled file backup, ala DataKeeper style for those critical files you want copies of.
It has a version control, does not say how many versions deep you can keep. Does appear to have some interesting features, USB flash drive, removable disks, network capable. Says it can also backup to an FTP which could prove interesting if you need to ship files to a remote computer running and FTP server. That alone could make it a handy product for any files that require off site storage.
