Areca Backup is a personal file backup software developed in Java. Beside its graphical interface, Areca comes with a command-line interface which can be used for backup automation.

Check out the program's features:

• Archives compression (Zip & Zip64 format)
• Archives encryption (Triple DES & AES encryption algorithm)
• Storage on local hard drive, network drive, USB key, FTP / FTPs server (with implicit and explicit SSL / TLS)
• Source file filters (by extension, subdirectory, regular expression, size, date, status, with AND/OR operators)
• Incremental, differential and full backup support
• Archives merges / deletion : You can merge contiguous archives in one single archive or safely delete your latest archives.
• As of date recovery : Areca allows you to recover your archives (or single files) as of a specific date.
• Transaction mechanism : All critical processes (such as backups or merges) support a transaction mechanism (with commit / rollback management) which guarantees your backups' integrity.
