EasyBackup is designed to backup files and folders, with or without compressing the data. Data can be backed up to local or network drives or to a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site. Compressed backup files are in the ZIP format, which is an industry standard that most compression programs, such as the ever popular WinZip, can read and write. For data which is not compressed, the files are simply copied to the backup destination in an unaltered state (individual file date and time stamps can even be preserved if so desired).
