- Pemilihan lokasi simpan untuk backup bisa 1 atau beberapa lokasi sekaligus misal: lokal, remote server (SSH atau FTP) atau keduanya (gambar 2.).
- File bisa diatur dengan “strftime-style time substitutions on file or directory name”
- Reporting hasil backup gagal/berhasil bisa di bertahukan ke email.
- Pemilihan skedul : harian, mingguan, bulanana atau custome.
- Menghapus file backup (lama) secara otomatis, misal hapus file backup yang berumyserver12 loebih dari 30 hari.

Fitur Log :
