duplicati 3 borgbackup conclusion faq does windows have a backup program what is the best way to backup your computer is there any free backup software are you looking for the best data backup and recovery software to keep your files safe and recover them when needed we ve tried and compared a range of tools from easy beginner friendly apps to more advanced options with features like cloud support and auto backups you ll get a clear look at what each one of them offers so you can find the right match ️ with many tools available it is not always easy to identify which option fits specific requirements for that reason we reviewed backup and recovery software across several categories from everyday tools for personal systems to platforms built for business continuity parameters we considered when selecting backup and recovery tools first we should mention that different backup recovery software tools are meant to fulfill different needs it s not uncommon for two tools to offer unique sets of features however there are some core parameters that just about every backup tool should prioritize data backup capabilities was the first thing we checked reliable backup software should offer flexible backup options instead of full backups every time you can use incremental or differential backups to save time and space some tools also support mirror continuous or synthetic backups for more specific backup needs we couldn t overlook that backup storage affects both data safety and access some basic tools support only local backups which limits flexibility more advanced solutions offer server nas or cloud backups which improve retention control and availability but also add cost and complexity vendor reputation was another important factor for us as we don t want to promote questionable or outright malicious software we took the time to research each vendor on this list carefully when it comes to your data every precaution counts especially with vendors that handle sensitive information price is always a factor for a home user an enterprise grade backup solution might be overkill and not worth the money at the same time a business can t afford to go cheap on backup software that fails when something goes wrong that s why we looked at tools across different price ranges too high a price wastes money but too low a price can lead to much bigger losses when data is on the line with that out of the way let s take a look at the best backup and recovery software available along with which environments they re best suited for best backup and recovery software for individual use most individuals won t need all of the advanced features that are needed by smes or large enterprises therefore let s start this list off with the best backup and recovery software tools for individual use 1 easeus todo backup easeus todo backup is a full featured backup solution designed for ongoing data protection on personal computers it supports disk partition system and file backups with restore workflows built entirely around previously created backups we found the backup logic familiar and easy to configure full incremental and differential backups work as expected and scheduling options cover most common needs without extra complexity storage flexibility is solid local drives external disks nas network locations and cloud targets all work without friction the included easeus cloud option with a 30 day trial and 250 gb of storage is convenient for quick off site protection though long term cloud use adds recurring cost bootable recovery media allows system image restores after os failure malware issues or hardware replacement and individual files remain accessible without a full restore overall easeus todo backup fits users who want structured scheduled backups and predictable restores rather than low level disk imaging or recovery from damaged media price pricing starts with a free version for basic backup needs the home edition costs 39 95 year or 59 95 for a lifetime license with higher tiers available for business and server environments pros file system disk and partition backups incremental and differential backup support scheduled and encrypted backup local network and cloud storage options bootable recovery media free version available cons free version has speed limits and pop ups cloud storage beyond the trial is paid 2 aomei backupper standard aomei backupper standard is a tool we ve used mainly as a free no commitment backup option on windows systems especially for basic system and file protection it covers the essentials well system disk partition and file backups work reliably and scheduled jobs handle routine backups without much intervention in our experience it fits simple setups where users want automation but do not need advanced policies scheduling options include daily weekly and monthly plans and incremental and differential backups behave as expected we ve also used the one way file sync feature for keeping folders up to date and it works reliably but remains fairly basic in scope backups store without issue on local disks external drives network shares or nas devices for recovery aomei backupper standard supports bootable media for system restores when windows fails to load one limitation we ve run into is that creating reliable boot media sometimes requires an external tool such as rufus which adds an extra step the free edition includes most core features but advanced retention controls and real time sync remain locked behind paid plans and occasional upgrade prompts appear in the interface price there is no license cost for standard edition optional upgrades start around 39 95 29 95 on sale for the pro edition pros system disk partition and file backups incremental and differential backups scheduled backup and automatic sync bootable recovery support free to use cons occasional upgrade prompts bootable media creation may need a third party tool advanced features require paid editions 3 r drive image r drive image is a windows backup solution built specifically for system backups and disk imaging it focuses on creating byte by byte images of disks and partitions which makes it suitable for full system restores and disaster recovery after system failure from our experience full incremental and differential backups behave reliably and scheduling options cover standard backup routines without much setup image verification compression and encryption help keep backups manageable while the option to replicate the same image to multiple destinations adds an extra layer of safety images can be stored locally on nas devices or in supported cloud services such as amazon s3 google drive onedrive and dropbox restores can be performed from a bootable recovery environment or by mounting image files as virtual drives to extract individual files while newer versions introduced broader cloud and format support the most reliable results still come from using r drive image s native image format especially for system level restores price licensing starts at 44 95 with a 30 day free trial which makes it a practical option for users who prefer a one time purchase over subscription based backup tools pros purpose built backup and disk imaging software full incremental and differential backup support image replication to multiple destinations local nas and cloud storage support image mounting for file level restores one time license with free trial cons interface and task system take time to learn stability issues with some non native image formats advanced rotation schemes require higher tier licenses windows only best backup and recovery solutions for medium sized organizations all of the backup and recovery tools we presented thus far are great for individuals but they re not exactly suited to the needs of a small or medium sized business smb an smb often has multiple computers and maybe servers to protect more complex data management needs and stricter requirements for things like uptime and encryption for this tier you re going to need something more resilient and centralized here are our top picks for medium sized organizations 1 msp360 managed backup msp360 managed backup is a flexible cross platform backup solution for the needs of small and medium sized businesses this tool provides an easy to manage centralized console accessible via a web interface to deploy and monitor backups across multiple endpoints whether you have a handful of workstations or a mix of servers and pcs msp360 lets you manage all their backups what we like about msp360 is its storage flexibility it does not force you into a proprietary cloud which makes a real difference in day to day use you re not locked into any proprietary cloud instead msp360 integrates with a wide range of popular storage providers you can back up data to local disks or nas or to cloud services like amazon s3 microsoft azure google cloud backblaze b2 wasabi and more this means you can take advantage of cost effective cloud storage or use existing cloud accounts and even mix and match to avoid a single point of failure from a backup perspective msp360 covers both file level and image based backups which gives enough flexibility for most business scenarios file backups suit day to day data protection while disk images work well for bare metal recovery after hardware failure we also see value in its support for microsoft 365 and google workspace backups as well as databases like ms sql and exchange which makes it easier to protect both local and cloud workloads within the same ecosystem price msp360 offers a free plan for personal workstation backups and testing along with a trial option the pro plan starts at 19 99 per year and supports up to five desktops or servers in on premise setups for msps and businesses with more than five devices the managed plan uses custom pricing with flexible monthly or annual billing pros supports windows macos and linux all manageable from a unified web console works with many cloud providers offers both file level backup and full image disk backup options highly customizable scheduling retention and security settings encryption versioning etc scales well for smbs and handles multiple computers servers with centralized monitoring and reporting affordable pricing for the feature set cons full image based backups and some advanced features are limited to paid pro versions initial setup and configuration can feel complex due to the breadth of options 2 netbackup netbackup combines multiple technologies into a single solution it s hybrid cloud optimized which means it will work in environments where you re using a mixture of on site and cloud based storage with netbackup you can back up data from numerous sources individual workstations file servers databases sql oracle etc virtual environments vmware hyper v and even applications like exchange or sharepoint these backups can be scheduled and can use full incremental or differential methods depending on your needs netbackup is known for its policy based approach you set policies that dictate what gets backed up when and it automates the process across your environment the program is also very secure all backup data is encrypted both in transit and at rest using enterprise grade encryption often aes 256 by default it also employs role based access control rbac and multi factor authentication so you can tightly control who can access or restore data which is important for compliance to further protect backups netbackup uses ai powered anomaly detection to spot unusual patterns like a sudden encryption of many files which might indicate ransomware and can alert or even lock down backups if something s amiss price netbackup pricing is based on a capacity based subscription model calculated per front end terabyte tb and the length of the license term entry pricing often starts at around 500 600 per tb per year with discounts available for multi year contracts 3 5 years pros extremely rich feature set end to end encryption ai based anomaly and ransomware detection rbac and mfa highly flexible backup management and storage options hybrid cloud tape disk and cloud targets near zero rto capabilities for certain applications with instant recovery features scales to protect hundreds or thousands of systems reputable vendor with a long history in data protection cons technical support quality varies for mid tier customers user interface has historically been clunky newer web ui still has a learning curve deployment and management are complex and require solid it expertise 3 acronis cyber protect acronis cyber protect is marketed as a complete cyber protection solution with some great backup and recovery capabilities it s a cloud supported solution that gives you complete control over how your data is backed up and protected your backups are securely stored in one of acronis many data centers around the world you can also choose which server stores your backups to reduce wait times during download o...
