Compression When sending backups across Internet to an online location compression is often necessary to reduce size of backup file. Since online storage is often limited compression will also allow you to backup more data without running out of storage space. WinBackup features a fully multi-threaded encryption and compression engine than encrypts and compresses your files in parallel for maximum performance. Backups can often be reduced by 50% or more using efficient compression and some text documents and emails might be reduced by up to 90%. This will allow you to transfer large backups even over a relatively slow modem connection and will allow most users to create online backups quickly and easily.

Integrated CD Writing Even though many pc owners have a CD writer installed in their computer, surprisingly few use it to backup important data. One reason for this could be that many users feel that writing backups to CDs is a little too complicated. WinBackups integrated CD/DVD writing features makes it easier than ever before to write backups directly to CDs or DVDs without knowing anything about CD Writing. Storing your backup on a CD or CDRW is as simple as inserting an empty CD-R or CD-RW into your CD Writer and clicking on "Run Backup". You can even leave a CDRW in CD writer and schedule WinBackup to automatically update contents daily. If CD Writer is located on some other computer on network you could schedule WinBackup to backup to that computer first and then to write backup to a CD. WinBackup also makes it easy to backup emails, documents or internet favorites with built-in shortcuts to important user data.
