BACKUP4ALLISANeasy-to-use but capable
backup tool, available in four different versions:
Professional, Standard, Liteand Portable.
The Liteedition included here is aimed at
home users, but still offers all the core
functionality most PC owners will need.
Youcan specify the files and folders you’d like
to back up,and these can be saved to local,
external or network drives. There are also
options to compress your archives or
password-protect them forsecurity,and a
simple scheduler can automatically run your
backup jobs every day, week or month.
Restoration is just as straightforward,
because your backups are just mirrors of the
original files and folders that are stored in regular Zip
files. Simply open an Explorer folder and you’ll be
able to find and recover what you need in seconds.
Version 8.1brings alot of changes, some of
which we’ve mentioned already,and if you choose
to upgrade to apaid version of the program you
can get even more.The Professional version, for
example,includes block level incremental backups,
Azure and Amazon S3 support.
Every edition, including Lite, benefits from the
revamped, more customisable and user-friendly
interface.There are new tools both to test and repair
your backups, and you can now suspend, cancel or
stop all backup jobs as well. Backup4all can also run
scheduled jobs it might have missed previously.

YOUMAY NOTeven be aware that it happened, but
there are various websites that have been hacked
over the years where your email address –plus your
password and other information –could have been
illicitly accessed, with that personal information
being sold over the internet.
HackCheck is asimple
tool where you can load
your email address and let it
go to work checking for
potential hacking incidents
where your details have been
compromised. Simply insert
your email address and
immediately HackCheck will
check adatabase against
known hacks and inform you
if you’ll need to change your
passwords and credentials.
We believe HackCheck is
using an external database
AbelssoftHackCheck2019
such as the free Have IBeen Pwned service and its
Pwned Passwords API to check your email against its
database.The evidence? Enter your email address on
Have IBeen Pwned (www.haveibeenpwned.com)and
you get exactly the same information presented to
you by HackCheck.
There are some
advantages of using
HackCheck over this website,
however: it will run in the
background and constantly
monitor more than one
email account, so you don’t
have to always be checking
manually.Reaction to ahack
is everything, and it’s
essential if your email is
hacked you quickly change
your account details and
password. This software will
help you know when to do so.
