Backup and snapshot tools for Windows and Mac
Backups you can actually rely on. Check the copies exist, keep snapshots, prune them by rule, and spot the job that quietly stopped running.
4 programs, free while we’re in preview. One file each. No account, no installer, nothing to uninstall.
Timestamped snapshots you can browse, where unchanged files cost no extra disk.
The Simple one of the 4: it keeps the settings to a minimum and picks sensible defaults for you, so there is almost nothing to learn before it is useful.
Audits the backups you already have against the 3-2-1 rule, one file at a time.
The Vertical one of the 4: it is tuned for that work specifically, with presets and reports built around it rather than every setting under the sun.
Keeps yesterday's snapshots by the hour and last month's by the week.
The Pro one of the 4: it adds the deeper settings and finer control that people who use it every day ask for, without getting in the way on a quick job.
Which backup jobs quietly stopped working, and how long ago they last succeeded.
The Team one of the 4: it adds what a team needs: command-line control for scripts, settings you can roll out across machines, and a record of everything that ran.
Reading on this job
- How to check whether your backup would actually restore A backup that runs every night and a backup that would get your files back are not the same thing, and the gap between them is where people lose data.
What all 4 of them do the same way
- Nothing is deleted. Anything a program removes is moved somewhere you can get it back from, and anything that changes files shows you the whole plan before it touches one.
- Nothing is reported back to us. No program here signs you in, phones home or counts what you did. The ones that use the network at all use it because that is the job — fetching a file you asked for, reaching a machine you named — and nowhere else.
- One file. Download it and run it. There is no installer, no runtime to fetch and nothing left behind if you delete it.
- The window and the command line are the same program. Double-click it for the window; give it arguments and the same binary runs as a command-line tool.
- The source is published for every program here, next to the download.
