1. Backup specific files or folder
2. Do a backup of only modified files after last backup
3. Can restore to another folder other than the one saved in
4. Save the list of files selected and also can change it
5. Able to backup hidden files
(we really don't want to test one that doesn't have the and spend time install, readining then uninstall)

RGRodgers, can you explain "store all files in same archive" and also
the message that appears when selecting both "store all files in same archive" and "Zip64":
Can we still use that setup? (We need to have the zip archive file be bigger than 4gb).
Please advice.

jcimarron, Win 7 has given us problems; that is why we started searching for another solution.

Conclusion: both apps Areca and Cobian works perfectly in backups, incrementeal, restore.
However we chose Cobian becuase the backup that it does in in a zip format so if Cobian is no longer avalable, we can unzip the archive.
Thanx all!
