• Pause, resume, cancel, retry failures, and recover interrupted jobs
• Preserve timestamps and file attributes

Verification and clear records

• Off, Quick, CRC32, SHA-256, or byte-by-byte verification
• Source-change detection prevents mixed or stale results
• Separate discovery, copy, and verification progress
• JSON job reports, report viewer, and persistent history
• Retry only the failed files from a completed report
• Live speed, ETA, files-per-second, resource, and bottleneck details

Smart performance

• Automatic HDD, SSD, USB, network, and cloud-path detection
• Adaptive workers and buffers based on hardware and file mix
• Work scheduling tuned for tiny through very large files
• Optional isolated native Windows scan, copy, and verification worker
• Disk-backed manifests for very large, million-file jobs
• Per-drive calibration and learned performance profiles

Folder compare and sync

• Find source-only, destination-only, changed, matching, and error items
• Optional SHA-256 content comparison
• Copy missing or selected differences in either direction
• Use the same staged copying and verification protections
• Save comparison results as JSON or text
• Explorer right-click and Send To integration

Automatic backup jobs

Backup health and repair

• Dashboard for preflight, verification, exclusions, and restore-test health
• Incremental indexes with scheduled full reconciliation
• Optional NTFS change-journal acceleration
• Automatic retry health, last success, and failure details
• Scheduled restore sampling to prove recoverability
• Full verification intervals and repair accounting

Point-in-time Recovery Center

• Signed, deduplicated complete point-in-time snapshots
• Retain previous versions plus deletion and rename history
• Dry-run restore planning before files are changed
• Exact restore with verification before removing extra items
• Content-addressed blocks reduce duplicate storage
• Recovery certification confirms full reconstruction

Secure Vault encryption

• AES-256-GCM encryption for content, names, paths, and metadata
• Authenticated restore before plaintext is committed
• Encrypted temporary containers and atomic final writes

Immutable offsite recovery

• Customer-owned Azure storage—Automation Forge does not hold your recovery key
• Local encryption before any snapshot object is uploaded
• Immutable, manifest-last snapshot commits
• Setup round-trip validation
• Offline recovery bundles and cloud-only restore
• Designed for a separate recovery copy, not as the only backup

Windows system recovery

• Optional complete system images for critical Windows volumes
• Selected full data-volume imaging
• Application-consistent VSS writer coordination
