Good utility
drfredcApril 4, 2012
Pros
Works fine, allows FTP encrypted backups to your own website domain as well as backups to local area workstations. Can be scheduled to run via Windows Scheduler. Has options to run and perhaps shut down programs before the backup is run. Several options for how to backup up. Can send a backup log email to track how the backup went.
Cons
Doesn't seem to have an option to override and backup 'locked' files.
Summary
Simple to set up -- dependable results.
good program
Chris9835February 25, 2012
Pros
very quick at backing up
Cons
could do with it's own shutdown command
Summary
 Updated on Feb 25, 2012does not work on the windows scheduler so auto backup's do not work.
doesn't work for me
paul_sauteFebruary 23, 2012

Summary

Waste of Time
hodgie71November 6, 2011
Pros
Easy to Install. Interface fairly simple to use.
Cons
Scheduling DOES NOT WORK.
Summary
Tried every which way to make scheduling work. Logged in during scheduled task, etc. etc.Task Scheduler shows process ran. But program never executes back up. Don't want to gripe about a free product. But in current form, it's useless.
Good backup tool
AntosilerJune 2, 2011
Pros
Free and complete backup software (ftp backup, encryption, scheduler...)
Cons
Kinda hard to figure out at first but it easy to use once you get used to it .
Summary
Unclear why that app is free. I would pay for it
Boukaku222May 28, 2011
Pros
Acebackup contains all functions I need and it is very stable. It is more powerfull than 2 other apps for which I payed about 30 USD
Cons
Some functions are a little odd implemented. It took some time until I understood how to use them
Summary
For me it is perfect
Did Absolutely Nothing Right
blbrodyApril 16, 2011
Pros
Easy to download!
Cons
Froze. Would not run scheduled tasks. Difficult interface. Never got a "test" to even work. Deleted it after an hour of frustration.
Summary
A complete waste of time.
Simply Amazing

maria121863July 1, 2010
Pros
Why would someone say free when is not ! I hate that
Cons
Not free at all but some few day trial
Summary
Works only backs up which you setup for it to do.
cmr1060February 25, 2010
Pros
Easy to install and easy to use. The scheduling was easy to arrange.
Cons
none as of yet
Summary
I like the program because it backups up what you want and not an image of the drive or just the files it thinks should be backed up.

Developer’s Description

By AceBIT

Store and back up your data with only a few mouse clicks.

AceBackup is a data-protection tool for your computer or local network. You can store data on FTP servers as well as on local storage devices (HDD, FDD, ZIP, JAZZ, MO or USB drives, folders in LAN and also recordable CD/DVD) with only a few mouse clicks. You can back up your data automatically using the integrated scheduler. In only a few steps, you can back up or restore your confidential data. You can also restore files in the original folder or in any other folder after a crash disaster. AceBackup saves several versions of similar files and has a filter for file extensions to store specific file types. The easy-to-use Explorer-like interface makes it easy to protect your data at different compression levels. That way you save backup space and the strong encryption (128-bit) keeps your backups safe.
