Cobian Backup supports several methods of compression and strong encryption.

Cobian Backup exists in two different versions: application and service. The program uses very few resources and can be running on the background on your system, checking your backup schedule and executing your backups when necessary.

Cobian Backup is not an usual backup application: it only copies your files and folders in original or compressed mode to other destination, creating a security copy as a result. So Cobian Backup can be better described as a “Scheduler for security copies”.

Here are some key features of “Cobian Backup”:

· Zip64 for zip files larger than 2 GB
· Strong encryption: Supported methods are Blowfish (128 bit), Rijndael (128 bit) and DES (64 bit)
· An open plugin architecture to allow the program’s enhancement
· 3 different methods to copy files, if the main method fails, 2 more methods will be used.
· The interprocess communication can be done using TCP/IP. This allows a better communication between the program parts AND the program can be administrated from another machine anywhere in the world.
· Backup to multiple destinations
· A backup history is displayed
· Zip files can now be split
· Remote backup
· Automatically remove old backups
· The application can be used as a command line utility. No separate command line program is needed

For example, it compares your MP3s to each other and using this information it can correct missing information and spelling mistakes, we know of no other tagger that does this! Jaikoz can extract information from a filename into the tag without you having to specify the format for the filename.

The screen is split horizontally to show the original record and the changes you have made so you compare both at the same time. Some applications hide multi-complex fields away but Jaikoz allows you to access the first field of every one from the main view. For example if you have an album cover tag in one mp3 and you want to copy it to other MP3s just copy and paste it.

Jaikoz currently supports tagging of MP3 files with ID3v1, ID3v2, ID3v2.2, ID3v2.3 and ID3v2.4 tags. In future versions we aim to add other formats such as Ogg Vorbis and Lyrics3
