O&O AutoBackup: Automated File Backup and Synchronization

O&O AutoBackup is a Windows-focused utility for automated backup and synchronization of selected files and folders. The application emphasizes straightforward setup and repetitive task automation: once backup tasks are configured, they can run automatically when a designated storage device is connected or according to user-defined rules.

Core features

• Automatic backups: Tasks can be executed automatically, for example when a specified USB flash drive or external hard drive is attached, removing the need for manual initiation.
• Copy or synchronize: Users can choose between creating additional copies on the destination or synchronizing source and destination to keep them in the desired state.
• OneDrive integration: Locally available OneDrive files can be included in backup and synchronization tasks, enabling a central strategy that covers both local and cloud-synced data.
• S3-compatible storage support: In addition to local and removable media, the software can target S3-compatible storage destinations for off-site or hybrid backup configurations.
• Encryption and obfuscation: Built-in options help protect backed-up data from unauthorized access when stored on external or remote media.
• Redesigned user interface: A step-by-step workflow and simplified UI aim to make task creation and management accessible to users without advanced technical knowledge.
• Flexible selection: Files, folders, and partitions can be included or excluded from tasks to tailor what is backed up and to manage storage usage.

Functionality and use cases

O&O AutoBackup is suited for users who want an uncomplicated, recurring method to protect important documents, photos, and other personal files without relying on manual backups. The option to trigger backups automatically on device connection is convenient for users who routinely store copies on external drives. Inclusion of locally synced OneDrive files and support for S3-compatible targets allow combining local and remote storage in a single backup strategy. Encryption and obfuscation features add a layer of protection for sensitive content kept off the primary machine.
