GFI Backup is a Windows solution for backing up important data stored on the computer. Users are able to encrypt resulting archives, preventing unauthorized access. Additionally, it is easy to restore previously created copies in the event of hardware malfunction or virus infection.

How to use

You can create new backups by selecting source files and directories. Moreover, there is an option to include registry keys, email messages and server credentials stored on the PC into the final package. The next step is to specify the desired destination folder. It is recommended to save the copy to a separate external physical drive to ensure its safety.

Tools for recovering individual files from generated packages are provided. Alternatively, users are able to quickly and efficiently restore entire systems. This reduces potential downtime and streamlines various workflows, especially in large network environments.

Advanced functionality

Like SmartBackup, the program allows you to run automated backup tasks at predefined intervals or on each OS startup, which is particularly beneficial for maintaining the safety of critical information at all times.
