About

Malware, user errors, or hardware failures often spell the end for important files. Therefore, it is essential to create regular backups to have a safety copy to fall back on in case of an emergency. Discover how BackUp Maker simplifies the process of data backup. With BackUp Maker, you simply select the data you want to secure, configure automation if desired, choose the destination, and your documents are reliably backed up - either scheduled or based on specific events. Your data lands safely and compactly in zip format on hard drives, USB sticks, or in the cloud. To protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, BackUp Maker offers high-security encryption of up to 256-bit (AES). Additionally, the program allows for the secure offloading of your encrypted backups via SFTP or FTP/FTPS to a web server. BackUp Maker supports a comprehensive backup concept without restrictions. Secure only new and changed files, create multiple backup generations, distribute backups across various storage media, and perform custom actions before and after the backup.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Backups without problems. Easy setup. Timer is possible as necessary. Software updates and improvements on regular basis.
  • I have been using Backup Maker for about 8 years or so. It is easy to use and simple to set up different backup routines. Such as: Photos Backup, Email Backup, Documents Backup and a Complete Drive backup.
  • Extreamly versatile and intuitive. We prefer non-encrypted backup, so if we mess up a file and need to retrieve a backup, it is as simple as going to the place that we backed it up and unzipping it..that's it. Very affordable.
  • Very easy to set up and use, like all ASCOMP software’s I have bought the last years. I trust this company.
  • Extensive configuration possible based on backup options (incremental, full, etc.), the storage (LAN), and the settings options (which data types, etc.)
  • BackUp Maker has a very clear layout, which is particularly helpful for those new to data backup. The programme guides you effectively through the process of setting up your own backup. Gradually, you realise just how many options the software offers. For example, the backup files can be stored in the cloud with 256-bit encryption or transferred to a server via FTP. The timing and frequency of the backups can also be specified in great detail. Certain events can also be taken into account in this process. Certain processes can be triggered before and after each backup. This can also be done using your own scripts, which are launched by BackUp Maker. However, if you prefer, you can also keep it simple.
  • Simple and easy to install Quick and usefull add/edit of backup sets It just works, works and works again A really great software product

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Nothing.
  • Nothing. This program is total garbage. A backup program that leaves you with no backup and a damaged system. Unbelievable! A backup is suppose to be your protection, not a catastrophe in and of itself.
  • There are only cons, no pros, when you fail to restore the system from image created by this tool.. Stay Away from it.
  • This programme totally Trashed my Windows 10 Laptop. I installed - which was not straight forward and took a couple of tries. I started the programme, and when it Rebooted my system, It could not Boot. I tried everything to rescue my nice working system. In the end I had to admit defeat and load a previous Win 10 disk image from last summer. So Thanks, Minitool!

Cons

  • This program slows down performance significantly and interrupts WiFi constantly. MiniTool hides its treachery very well; it doesn't even show up in task manager processes or startup so you don't even know it's running. Overall, MiniTool is a malicious-virus like software that shouldn't have a place on anyone's PC.
  • Prepared my new system got everything the way I wanted it and was ready to clone system to SSD. The program had no disclosure of what it was going to do or how it was going to do it. Why did it need to WRITE to the source drive, at all?? The most idiotic thing I have ever heard of. This horrible program corrupted the SOURCE drive. The used space on the disk kept growing bigger and bigger, 4 times bigger. After 5 hours I had to kill the process. Chkdsk /f won't remove the many gigabytes it added to the drive. Also my restore points are now all gone. The clone was unsuccessful.
  • This software can make "system backup" of "drive c+system reserve" when your windows is running, from desktop, but when you try to restore it does not work, even i created "Add boot entry", but it failed, reason is hard disk is same, my Backup was saved in "drive d", but this tool failed.
  • Disaster.
