Areca is a file backup system that supports data compression (zip / zip64 format) and encryption, incremental backups, FTP file transfer, a file history explorer, and many other features. It includes a transaction mechanism, which guarantees the integrity of your backups. Two user interfaces are available: a command-line interface (useful for backup automation) and a graphical user interface (useful for backup administration).
