This review of Bvckup 2 was made possible because I personally paid for the application. If you are interested in what else it does, you can get an overview of all the features on Bvckup 2’s website. My goal was to show you the basics of how Bvckup 2 works. There are of course more features packed into Bvckup 2 than what was covered in this short review. It will work with Synology, QNAP, external hard drives, and anything else you can think of. Bvckup 2 gets my definite recommendation! Although I’ve mentioned my Unraid NAS in this review, you can use Bvckup 2 with any (external) drive or NAS. If you haven’t noticed it so far in this review, I am very impressed by what Bvckup 2 does and have been using it since I first purchased it. The developers obviously put a lot of thought into the functions, which can be seen in the ability to track an external drive by the device fingerprint. Despite that, it can perform advanced tasks such as delta and shadow copying. But being a backup application, in charge of my most valuable data, I’d rather use something that does its job perfectly 100% of the time than something that has more features but crashes every so often.īvckup 2 is fast, simple, and lightweight and that is what a backup application should be. If this review of Bvckup 2 taught you anything, it should be the fact that there are no bells and whistles to this piece of software.

The files can be moved into an archive folder and then be automatically deleted by Bvckup 2 after a certain amount of time.There are three options, as to what Bvckup 2 does to files in the destination folder, to choose from: How Bvckup 2 handles deleted filesĪlthough Bvckup 2 doesn’t support any form of file versioning, you can decide what you want it to do with files that have been deleted in the source folder. Shadow copying allows Bvckup 2 to back up files that are currently being used and otherwise couldn’t be copied. This is once again an area where Bvckup 2 shines by supporting Shadow Copy. There are even more advanced features located under ‘more options…’.

You could also copy the full directory each time, but why would you want to do that? Shadow copying and more
Compared to a normal copy and paste job, delta copying makes things a lot faster. Delta copying means that only files that have actually been changed will be copied. Delta copyingĭelta copying is, in my opinion, the best feature Bvckup 2 has to offer. The much slower alternative is to have the destination folder re-scanned every time the job starts. I went with that option to save on time and computer resources. Bvckup 2 will detect changes by comparing the contents of the source folder to the contents of the destination. Using the destination snapshot means the destination folder doesn’t have to be rescanned with each backup.
In fact, you can leave most set to the default option. Where Bvckup 2 really shines however is with its more advanced settings, none of which are difficult to set up. You will find similar settings in just about every backup tool out there.
I called the previous settings basic because that is essentially what they are.
