The main interface of AnyFileBackup is designed for maximum efficiency, reliability, and control in managing secure backup and replication operations. It is organized into four key sections:
- Top Toolbar: This section provides quick access to essential controls for managing all backup, replication, monitoring, and automation tasks. It also governs the operation of the task processor, ensuring a streamlined and reliable backup workflow.
- Filter Panel (Left Side): This panel allows users to efficiently filter and categorize tasks. You can sort tasks by type—such as backup, replication, monitoring, cleanup, or custom actions—or choose to view only active tasks or those belonging to specific task groups, enhancing task visibility and operational precision.
- Central Task Display: The core area of the screen displays a detailed list of all configured tasks. This includes task names, scheduled activation times, real-time progress indicators, and other vital metrics. It gives a comprehensive and transparent overview of all ongoing and scheduled data protection activities, underlining the system’s reliability and performance.
- Event Log (Bottom Section): This section provides a secure, granular log of all system activities handled by AnyFileBackup. It records backed-up files, sent notifications, as well as informational and critical messages. Users can tailor the logging detail level in AnyFileBackup > Settings > Logging, choosing from minimal to exhaustive logging—supporting both auditing and troubleshooting needs with complete transparency and reliability.

Set up the task’s foundational parameters to ensure secure and reliable data replication. This includes task naming, grouping, and robust error handling configurations.
- Define the task name and assign it to a specific group. You can also create a new task group directly from this section to keep replication workflows organized and efficient.
- Customize how errors are handled when the task encounters an issue. Default error-handling rules can be reviewed and modified to enhance operational reliability.
- Add notes for task documentation, view the last modified timestamp, and copy the task’s unique ID—useful for tracking and secure task management.

Schedule the precise start time and define behavior during public holidays to maintain consistent and efficient data replication.
- Choose how the task starts initially—immediately after creation or according to a predefined, secure schedule.
- Set up recurring or one-time execution. Start conditions include manual launch, triggering by another task, or scheduled execution using a flexible CRON system for professional-grade control.
- Configure behavior on public holidays. Decide whether the task should run or pause. The built-in global holidays database supports over 100 countries and regions for compliance and operational precision.

Define how AnyFileBackup securely accesses source data, selects files and folders, and manages subdirectories for reliable and efficient replication.
- Specify the source—such as an S3 bucket, local folder, FTP path, or mailbox. If credentials are needed, configure and validate them here to ensure secure and uninterrupted access.
- Select which subfolders to include or exclude. You may also skip empty folders to streamline replication.
- Filter files based on advanced criteria:
- Mirror the source structure on the target—fully, partially, or using smart replication (e.g., new/changed files only, or deletions only).
- Include/exclude files using names, regular expressions, extensions, sizes, and dates for precise, efficient file selection.

|
Configure how files are moved or copied, define naming rules, and resolve file conflicts with secure and reliable transfer methods.
- Select between copying or moving files from the source to the target, depending on your data retention strategy.
- Create custom renaming rules (regex supported) to standardize target filenames automatically during each replication cycle.
- Define conflict resolution rules for when a file already exists at the target—choose to rename, overwrite, or skip based on your security and versioning needs.
|
|
Configure the destination settings to ensure accurate, secure, and efficient file delivery, including the ability to use multiple targets.
- Set up the target destination, including connection details and protocol options supported by AnyFileBackup.
- Filter which source files qualify for replication using flexible rules, including regular expressions, for precise delivery.
- Apply optional pre-replication actions such as compression, decompression, encryption, or decryption—enhancing both security and storage efficiency.
