Direct copy and file delivery: with
this function Uranium can copy (without any data compression or
modification) an unlimited number of files and/or folders to local computer,
across the network, to external
Firewire/SATA/USB hard drives, USB pen drives, iOmega REV drives, RDX drives,
NAS servers, etc...
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
Synchronization / Mirroring: for
each single folder to copy, it is possible to choose if erase in the destination
folders that files and folders no more existing in the source folders. This
option allows to maintain two or more folders perfectly synchronized
(identical), and so to avoid the continuous growth of destination folders. This
option can be used for an unlimited
number of destinations.
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
Unlimited destinations: for each
backup procedure it is possible to add an unlimited number of destinations. So
no problem if for example we want to deliver some files to all computers in a
network.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Copy of NTFS permissions: with files
and folders, Uranium is able to copy also their NTFS security attributes, like
groups, users and permissions. It is also possible to synchronize security
attributes between source and destination, even if files are not copied.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Creation of customized folders: when
we copy files and folders to a destination we can choose a customized name for
the backup folder, for example the
weekday name, the number of the day in the month, a special name,
the name of the current windows user,
etc... So in this way we can make differed and prefectly neat backups.
|
|
|
|
|
|

no more existing in the source folders. To all intents and purposes a
synchronization with integrated
compression.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maintain old backups: Uranium can
create new zip file at every backup procedure, maintaining a pre-established
number of files. Older zip files will be overwritten
in rotation depending on the
creation date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compression of files individually:
instead of create an unique zip file containing the entire backup, with Uranium
the user can choose to compress each file individually. In the destination
folder we will find the same folder structure of the source folder with each
file zipped.

Running as service: on all "NT-based" operating systems (NT,
2000, XP, 2003, VISTA, 2008 and 7) Uranium can run as a service, and thus can
perform backup procedures in background
(even if no user is logged to the
system). Running through the service also allows you to perform an
unlimited number of parallel backups,
or backups with overlapping schedulings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unlimited items and unlimited destinations: in comparison of
other backup programs, Uranium's versatility allows to set for each Backup Set
an unlimited number of items (files and folders to backup) and an unlimited
number of destinations, also of several types.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unlimited Backup Sets: with Uranium it is possible to create an
unlimited number of Backup Sets, to be more precise several and distinct
backup/copy/transfer procedures, each of them with its specific settings and
automatic scheduling.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Detailed logs of any operation: each time that Uranium perform
a backup, it creates a log file containing detailed information about backup,
like for example the number of copied files, the total size of copied files, the
average speed, the start and the end time, the windows logged user, etc....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HTML Log or Text Log: the logs created by Uranium can be in
HTML format (so extremely easy to read and to manage, because they can be viewed
with any web browser) or in simple text format (in order to have lighter logs
when they contain the list of all copied files)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
E-mail notifications: for each backup set Uranium can send to
one or more recipients an e-mail containing all information about the performed
backup upon its completion, with the possibility to choose if send the e-mail
always or only in case of errors. Using the advanced options you can specify
two separate groups of recipients
and submit the sending to numerous
conditions on the result or duration of the backup. You can also set the
sending of regular e-mail notification
regardless of other conditions, so as to
be always aware that the software is
active and executes requested operations. No other backup program has a
so powerful and detailed e-mail notification sysem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Multitask execution: through a specific option it is possible
to run multiple Uranium instances. In this way the program can make
multiple backup operations at the same
time or overlap several schedulings in a fully indipendent manner.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Multiple scheduling: each backup can be scheduled, to be more
precise automatically executed in specific days and times. The
integrated scheduler allows to
set the days of the month, the days of the week, specific interval of days,
hours and minutes, etc... It is also possible to schedule a backup through
windows scheduled tasks, since
Uranium can be executed from the command line with several parameters (with a
simple button we can automatically create a windows scheduled task for each
Backup Set).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Execution of external files/programs/scripts: Uranium allows
for each backup to execute customized actions with external files or programs,
like for example batch files or system scripts, antivirus, programs for specific
functions, etc... Through these functions it is possible to integrate Uranium
with other software and so make it still more versatile. The execution of these
actions can be performed before and/or after each single backup, and depend on
conditions regarding the backup result.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Automatic logging into network shares: Uranium can execute
automatically a logon procedure (with user name and password) to access network
shared folders. In this way it can perform copy operations also to network
folders in which user doesn't have permissions normally. At the end of backup,
for security reasons, authentication data is removed from system cache and so
network shares are made again inaccessible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stored passwords protected: all passwords stored in various
program's settings (network shares authentication, SMTP, zip file encryption,
SQL Server databases, etc....) are encrypted and so absolutely protected against
unauthorized access. No one can retrieve the passwords stored by Uranium,
neither using asterisk revealer programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
File System Monitor: Uranium can monitor all modifications to
backup items on the file system. For example: if a folder that is part of a
backup is renamed/moved/deleted, Uranium immediately notify the user about
possible errors due to that modification.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Automatic printing of log files: at the end of each backup
Uranium can automatically print the log file through the system default printer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
System shutdown after backup: selecting a simple option,
Uranium is able to automatically shutdown the system and poweroff the computer
after backup end.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Plugin of other programs: thanks to the possibility to execute
Uranium from the command line, the program can be easy used as a plugin of other
software. This means to have the chance to add data backup functions, burning
capabilities, FTP transfer functions, etc., to any program through Uranium.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Portable: although Uranium has a simple installation procedure,
it is a fully portable and stand-alone program. It doesn't need any external
prerequisite in order to work, and all its features are embedded in
a single file: Uranium.exe. This
means that the program can be placed on
a USB pen drive and can be executed
without any installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FTP / SFTP Client: Uranium includes a
complete FTP Client program,
that can work regardless of backup functions. Practically another "standalone"
software to execute all common FTP and SFTP transfer operations, to view the
content of websites or of the remote backup destinations. A very useful an
simple product, comparable for basic use to other software like CuteFTP,
FileZilla, WS_FTP, etc...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Chained execution of several Backup Sets: for each Backup Set
it is possible to set actions to execute before and/or after backup operations.
Among these options there is also the possibility to execute other Backup Sets
(depending on specific conditions), to create complex chained operations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MD5 and CRC checksum comparison: Uranium is able to make
comparisons between files (for overwrite options) and data integrity
verification using MD5 hash or CRC algorithm. Through this implementation the
program ensure an high security standard.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hidden and systems files: for all types of backup it is
possible to decide the inclusion or the exclusion of hidden and system files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Special Strings: in many textual options of Uranium it is
possible to insert several special strings in order to accurately customize some
program functions. For example you can insert the backup result in the
notification e-mail subject simply inserting the string %BR% in the subject text
field. Or you can create folders named like windows logged user name using the
string %UN%. The complete list of special strings and the options where you can
use them can be found in the program's help.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Drag & Drop: to make the configuration easier, it is possible
to add files and folders to backup dragging them over Uranium with mouse.
In the same way it is possible to use this function to add destinations, import
Backup Sets or move items from a Backup Set to another.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Auto-Update: Uranium can be updated through internet with a
simple click. It is also possible to set a reminder to be warned each
pre-estabilished number of days to check and download updates. The program
downloads and installs automatically its new versions without need to reboot the
system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration protection: you can set a password protection to
prevent not experts / unauthorized users from change the configuration of the
backups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Compatible with all Windows NT-based operating systems: Uranium
Backup can be installed on Windows XP / 2000 / 2003 / 2008 / Vista / 7 - 32 and
64 bit. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The largest number of options, functions, filters: Uranium is
surely one of the most customizable
backup software, because it has a large number of options for each type
of backup. Among these we can highligth the numerous file overwrite options, the
inclusion and exclusion filters for specific files, the incremental copy
options, the zip compression options, the burning options, the several types of
backup, the several logging options, the creation of customized folders, the
automatic internet connection, etc....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Several languages: Uranium interface is available in Italian, English, Spanish,
Polish, Dutch and French. To change the language just a simple click on the
appropriate menu item. The program's help is available in Italian and English. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
A single
installation file: choose the Uranium license that best suits your
needs is extremely simple. You don't have complicated differences between Server
or Desktop editions, or license numbers based on the network clients to backup.
With Uranium, we have a single
installation file, valid for any operating system and any version. We
need only to choose a version of Uranium under the functionality we need.
Management of licenses between the simplest of all.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All options and features available in Uranium mustn't frighten non-professional
users. In fact the program's interface has been designed with extreme care and
with professional and light style. All commands and options are easy usable through
simple menus an are grouped very clearly.
Despite the numerous accurate checks that Uranium performs at each backup, this
program
doesn't affect in any way system performances. All this because Uranium is optimized
in order to require very low memory consumption (small RAM footprint) and can be set to require
less priority in CPU usage in respect to other running programs.
During inactivity the program remains iconized in the tray bar, without affect the
work of the user and practically without use any resource. Backup procedures are optimized to obtain maximum
speed despite numerous accurate checks for each file and intercepting
of any eventual error.
The most important impression about Uranium is that of a
solid and powerful software, that combine top performances and safety,
lightness and low resources consumption, speed and reliability.
