About AppProfileSafe
AppProfileSafe is an enterprise-grade Windows tool for application-level backup and restore of Registry data, files, and NTFS ACLs. Unlike USMT (deprecated since Windows 11 24H2), it operates per application using XML-based App Definitions — backing up exactly what each app needs, nothing more. Features include dry run simulation with diff reports showing every Registry key, file, and ACL that would change before committing. A tamper-evident HMAC hash-chained audit trail records every operation with integrity verification. The path mapping engine rewrites Registry and file paths when usernames or drive letters differ between source and target. The Community Edition is free forever — full GUI, unlimited apps, simulation, mapping, and audit logging. No registration, no time limit. Enterprise adds CLI automation, SIEM integration (CEF, LEEF, JSON, Syslog), compliance reporting, and a redaction engine. Built on .NET 8 for Windows 10/11 and Server 2016–2025.
