Delayed Deletion: When a file gets deleted at the source, BackupChain can be instructed to delete the backup after a certain time period, for example, after 30 days.
Multi-threaded Design: Run several tasks simultaneously as needed
Speed throttling: Slow down backups if they are too fast. This feature helps keep the network available for other services, too
Scheduling: BackupChain contains a professional Task Scheduler that offers all thinkable scheduling options for your file copy tasks.
Compression: You can compress individual types of files as you like, with various compression algorithms and level available.
