Backup Software

Backup programs are designed to backup files.

To "backup files" is to make copies of files (replication) and store them on a separate media to be used in case the primary files are lost or corrupted.

ViceVersa replication and archive features are designed to create secure backup copies of files and folders.

Backups are essential for all work. For important work, two or three backup sets are advisable. To be especially safe, backup sets should be kept in different locations. Backup files can be stored compressed and/or encrypted to save space.

Once folders and files are backed up and on the "target" external hard drive, can these files be accessed & opened, by a different computer using the same OS? Or does your software have to installed on the computer that accesses the data from the "target" HD

Files on the target are a 1:1 mirror of the source files; they are accessible from any OS. They are not stored in a proprietary format.

Are the backed-up files saved in their original format or changed into ViceVersa format? I am looking for something that will back up to a large usb drive. The files backed up on this drive would be in the file's original format. Not needing to run any recovery software. Does ViceVersa act this way?

The backed-up files are saved in their original format; a 1 to 1 copy; no need for any recovery process.
