BackupAssist

BackupAssist is a simple backup program designed for small businesses and regular people who want to protect their important files, emails, and databases without needing to be tech experts.
It automatically makes copies of your critical data on a schedule so if your computer crashes, gets hacked, or a file gets deleted by mistake, you can quickly restore everything and get back to work.
BackupAssist uses affordable S3-compatible object storage like DiskSpace as its backup destination, which means your copies are kept safely off-site in the cloud, protected from local disasters, and easily accessible whenever you need to recover files.
