Start using ASUS Secure Auto-Backup
Welcome to ASUS Secure Auto-Backup. ASUS Secure Auto-Backup provides an efficient and secure solution for your data backup needs. You can easily back up your files on computers and external hard drives. Whether it's due to accidental deletion, unexpected data loss, computer crash, or data corruption. ASUS Secure Auto-Backup ensures that your important files and folders are always protected.
Incremental backup, saving storage space and increase backup speed
With ASUS Secure Auto-Backup, you can enjoy the benefits of incremental backups, which save storage space and increase backup speed. Incremental backups only back up the changes made since the last backup, rather than backing up all the data every time.
For example, if you backed up a 100MB folder last time and you modified 5MB of files before the next backup, then this backup will only back up the newly added or changed 5MB files in the folder.
Does ASUS Secure Auto-Backup offer system and system image backups?
Currently, it only provides file backup and does not include system and system image backup options.
