Overview
Ocster Backup: Freeware Windows Edition is a software program developed by Ocster. The most common release is 1.95, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version.

Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The primary executable is named backupclient-ox.exe. The setup package generally installs about 80 files and is usually about 22.67 MB (23,767,521 bytes).
