fbackup is a free, set-and-forget backup & restore solution. A step-by-step wizard walks you through creating your first job in seconds, while built-in scheduling, ZIP compression and optional password protection keep things safe and small. A Chinese-language build is available and every user gets free cloud space—stash today’s backup online to save local disk space and still have a copy if the PC disappears.
