Easy Backup is a small Windows utility that allows you to copy files from one location to another or store them in an archive for the purposes of a backup.

Features include:

• Choose files or folders to backup (either via file dialogs or via drag & drop)
• Toggle copy of subdirectories on and off
• When copying a directory, you can choose to just copy the latest file out of that directory (by date modified)
• Save and load your backup locations as a template so that it's easy as pie to re-run a backup that you've run in the past
  • The most recently used backup template file is automatically loaded for you when starting the software. A backup is only a few clicks away!
• If copying a directory non-recursively, choose to only copy the last modified file in that directory. This could be useful when backing up a directory that contains local file backups, for example -- you may not need all the local backups, just the latest one.
• View backup progress as it happens
• Optional sounds when backup succeeds or fails
• Cancel backup at any time
• Files for backup can be compressed with or without a password (uses 7-zip LZMA compression). By default, files are simply copied from their source directory to the backup location.

• Option to update a previous backup instead of creating an entirely new backup (only adds new files and updates modified files based on a hash; does NOT delete old files that have been removed)

Glad you asked! There are always things that can be done on an open-source project: fix bugs, add new features, and more! Check out the issues tab of this repository and take a look at what bugs have been reported and which features have been requested. If you'd like to request a feature or file a bug, by all means, please do so!
