This guarantees your backups’ integrity. * Backup reports : Areca generates backup reports that can be stored on your disk or sent by email. * Post backup scripts : Areca can launch shell scripts after backup. * Files permissions, symbolic links and named pipes can be stored and recovered.

(including a ‘find file in archives’ feature) * Archive description : A manifest is associated to each archive, which contains various informations such as title, date, description, and additional technical data. * File version tracking : Areca keeps track of your files’ history (creation / modifications / deletion). Each version can be selectively viewed and recovered. * Backup simulation (check whether a backup is necessary) * User’s actions history : Areca keeps history of all user’s actions (archives deletion, merges, backups, recoveries).

Areca comes also with a command-line interface which can be used for backup automation.
