The program supports four different compression methods. And best of all: Backups created with Ashampoo® Backup Pro require up to 50% less space than other backup solutions!

The backup solution that even checks output locations
A backup is only as safe as the hard disk its stored on! That's why Ashampoo® Backup Pro monitors your hard disk's SMART parameters during backups to detect future issues before they happen!

Backup Pro does all the heavy lifting in the background and analyzes your system load, only becoming active when enough resources are available without getting in your way. So you can continue to work while Backup Pro works its magic.

View archive contents without opening them
While backups are primarily meant for storing and restoring data, sometimes you just want to peek into them. Ashampoo® Backup Pro's Backup Viewer let's you do just that. Access archived files directly without restoring them first. The files are opened in a secure space to avoid modifying or damaging the original archives!
