Cobalt Backup is a simple to use application that can automatically save your personal data to a flash drive, internal or external hard drive, and in a way that's easy to get back to later. No compression is used. The saved files can be opened from your backup destination (flash drive) just as easily as they were opened on the hard drive in your computer.
Folders can easily be added to your backup. Cobalt supports quick buttons for adding folders that contain Outlook, Outlook Express, My Documents, Desktop, My Pictures, and others.
It's easy to determine what's going on with your backups. An icon in the notification area (Windows 7 shown) changes if you have an alert (missed backup), if a backup is in progress, or if Cobalt is idle.
If a problem occurs you can check for Alerts. This will show if a backup did not complete or if there is a problem with a backup. You can ignore the backup or select "Fix." If you want more advanced details like what file did not backup then you can select the "Log" feature from the main windows of Cobalt Backup.
