AKGBackup™ is a backup program written entirely in Java. As a result, it has the advantage that it should run on any platform as Java is a language having cross platform portability as one of its strong points. It is an utility for backing up your files on a different hard disk drive, floppies, different partition of the same disk drive or any media your operating system can write to.

AKGBackup Features
This backup utility can compress data while backing up if you choose so. It compresses individual files separately. This feature is a precautionary measure. Compressed archives do get corrupted and if there is a single archive for all your files (most of the backup programs create a single archive for your files and folders), you may lose all your files in one go if something goes wrong. Remember Murphy's Law? Still not convinced? Read here what one of the users of AKGBackup said about this feature.
The compression feature of this program can be used as a simple but effective encryption tool for backed up files.
You can choose to mirror any deletions in your data source. If you delete any files in the original location, those files will also be deleted in the backup. In other words, you will have a mirror image like backup all the time. You can also choose not to have such a backup in which case even if a file is deleted in the source folder, it will remain in the destination folder (where you have chosen to backup your files) waiting to be restored if and when you require it.
It is also possible to specify the total number of backups of the same data. This feature is particularly useful when some rewritable medium, such as a hard disk or a tape, is used as backup medium. For example, if you choose to have seven number of backups, then you will have seven most recent sets of data.
Once you create a backup using this utility, subsequent backups are very fast. This program looks for any new or modified files and backs them up saving a lot of time ensuring that you have a most current backup all the time.
It can backup only data files and not system partition or system files. In other words, you should not expect to backup the whole C: (system partition) drive, and then restore the partition after something goes wrong with your operating system or after formatting your system partition.
