Active Backup Expert Pro   
http://www.orionsoftlab.com

A full-featured backup tool creates automated zip- or cab-format backups of local and network files on hard disks, CDs and other removable devices, local network or FTP site. A Wizard guides you through the steps of the backup-set creation: selecting the folders and filters for included and excluded files, specifying the storage folder and setting to schedule. Once you have configured your backup-sets, the ABE will create the unlimited number of backups at timed moments. Though you can use a shortcut or a hotkey to launch a backup anytime you wish. Use Incremental or Differential mode to back up only new and changed files. You can easily restore the files from any backup, view or edit their content. The export and import features are useful to synchronize the folders on two or more PCs and to span large backups across multiple discs. Other features include selecting files by date, size and attributes, Blowfish backup encryption, creating self-extracting backups, the support for the Command-line and ActiveX automation. The ample documentation is available. The ABE Pro creates the unattended backups by using the Active Task Manager included into the installation package. This automation utility can work as a stand-alone application to help you to schedule other tasks. Though, you can use the MS Task Scheduler to automate your backups as well.

CryptoForge

CryptoForge is encryption software for personal and professional security. It allows you to protect the privacy of your sensitive files and messages by encrypting them with up to four strong cryptographic algorithms. Once the information has been encrypted, it can be stored on insecure media or transmitted on an insecure network (like the Internet), and still remain secret. Later, the information can be decrypted into its original form. CryptoForge integrates the strongest cryptography available today into the Windows environment. The file encryption module enables you to encrypt, decrypt, and wipe -with the built-in file shredder- files of any type, as well as entire folders and drives, from within Windows Explorer or My Computer with right-click ease. The text encryption module includes a secure text editor allows you to create, encrypt, and decrypt documents in a way that they can be sent by any email, messenger, or chat program. You can also use the built-in SMTP client. CryptoForge provides four encryption algorithms: 448-bit Blowfish, 256-bit Rijndael (AES), 168-bit Triple DES, and 256-bit Gost. It also includes powerful compression to strengthen cryptographic security even more. The command line interface allows quick integration into automated processes and scripts, and lets you perform tasks in both interactive and non-interactive server running modes. Additional features include multiple encryption, filename encryption, cipher speed meter, password cache with timeout, and compression level control.

It was designed to fulfill the needs of everyday security while being as fast and easy to use as possible. BlackBox uses 56-bit DES by default but other algorithms (e.g. AES, Blowfish, RC4, CAST) are available for free from the <a href="http://www.essentialdetails.com/blackbox/engines.asp">BlackBox engine library</a>.
