But What is the preventative solution? You are right, Backup. Always backup your important files and documents even if you have a good antivirus or spyware protection, you never know whats going to happen.

Areca Backup basically allows you to select a set of files / directories to back-up, choose where and how (as a simple file copy, as a zip archive, …) they will be stored, and configure post-backup actions (like sending backup reports by email or launching custom shell scripts).

Here is what people said about the software “So far the best open source free BackUp utility out there. It offers all that can be found in a commercial product. It also provides the user with lots of ways how to configure the tool and create image archives for example, that are updated by every backup and you don’t need to remove/recreate them”.

Also “This wonderful piece of project is pretty well to back up daily work without fail. Also it allows encryption as well as snapshot (Exact Directory structure) to be taken as back up. Encryption feature is one of my favorite feature offered! I love this product! I highly recommend it to ones who are concerned to backup their day to day work.”
