Fab's AutoBackup

Fab's AutoBackup 7 Home & Office is a simple yet powerful tool for backing up and restoring your Windows data — documents, music, videos, emails, browser settings and much more. Designed to be accessible even to complete beginners, securing your files to a USB drive or NAS takes just a few clicks. After a Windows reinstall or when switching to a new PC, restoring everything is just as easy.

Runs on all Windows versions from XP to Windows 11. Can also be used from the command line, making it easy to automate backups via scripts. When run in administrator mode, all Fab's AutoBackup 7 versions support VSS snapshots, allowing files in use by other processes to be copied without interruption.

Updates policy: Updates are included for 1 year from purchase. After that, the software continues to work normally — a new licence is only required if you wish to update it. This model allows Fab's AutoBackup to keep innovating continuously.
