JaBack is a Java based backup software that allows you to backup files and folders to compressed zip archives. It offers automated backups with support for dynamic variables that can be used in output paths and file names. The backup options include backup to local folders or remote FTP servers, as well as emailing of the zipped backup file. You can schedule your backup tasks on an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly basis, and also chain tasks to be run in sequence or conditionally depending on exit codes. The JaBack interface is not as easy to use and appealing as most Windows applications, and it does not support CD or DVD backup.
