O&O FileBackup

O&O FileBackup stands out as an efficient and user-friendly utility for safeguarding important data. The latest version, 2.2.1377, showcases the dedication of its developer, O&O Software GmbH, in continually refining their product. With a compact program file size of 5.5 MB, installation is quick and seamless on modern systems.

Designed primarily for Windows 10, and 11, OO FileBackup ensures comprehensive support for the current market standards. This program falls under the broad category of System Utilities and is more specifically categorized under Backup & Restore. For those familiar with it under its alternative name, OO FileBackup, the program maintains all the same functionalities and ease of use.

One of the program's strongest points is its flexibility. It can automatically detect important files such as photos, videos, music, and Office documents, suggesting them for backup. Users who desire more control can manually select directories or entire partitions. This intelligent feature set ensures that system and program files are excluded, saving both time and storage space.

Whether choosing to download the free trial version or opting for the full shareware license, users can expect a seamless experience. The step-by-step guidance through both the backup and restoration processes is enhanced by the integrated assistant, making it incredibly easy to ensure data safety. This feature is particularly valuable for those who are not technically inclined, as it simplifies complex tasks into manageable steps.

The program’s ability to recognize new or changed files automatically and propose them for backup is invaluable for those who frequently update their data. This is particularly useful for importing photos and videos, ensuring that digital treasures always have a backup copy.

Restoration is equally straightforward. The built-in restore feature allows users to select and restore files to their desired location. Importantly, the data can be restored without the program itself, as it is stored faithfully on the backup medium and can be easily read and copied directly.

For users interested in exploring its previous iterations, version 1.0 still maintains a solid foundation, though the latest version brings significant improvements.

Pros:

• Easily customizable backup options
• Automatic detection of important files for backup
• Step-by-step guidance through backup and restoration processes

Cons:

• Limited to Windows 10/11
• Shareware license may be limiting for some users
