We here at FindMySoft are not strangers to the applications developed by Infonautics. In the past we’ve covered the Infonautics-developed software application Online Desktop Presenter, an application that allows you show your desktop to another user on your Intranet or local network.

Now we will focus on another Infonautics-developed application, mainly in Live File Backup. The first thing you need to know about this application is what it can do for you – and in this regard the name is a dead giveaway. Now as the name so adequately points out, this application can backup your important files. Backing up your data is very important; to show just how important, I usually quote Director of Technical Education with Eset, Randy Abrams, who said that “if your data is important enough to put on a hard drive, be sure you back it up.”

With Live File Backup by your side, you can rest assured that you will never lose any important data. AS you go about your day, this application can continually backup your data. It can even backup files that you are currently using – for example the PowerPoint presentation you’re currently working on. The data can be backed up to local external storage media or it can be backed up over the network.

Should you decide to get Live File Backup and put it through its paces, there are a few more things you need to know. First of all you need to know that the download weighs in at some 3MB, so it should take but a moment for the download to complete. Next you need to know that Live File Backup works with just about any version of the Microsoft-developed Windows operating system. Last but not least, you need to know that Live File Backup is not freeware.
