What is BackUp Maker?

Protect your valuable data against ransomware, accidental changes, and hardware-related data loss with BackUp Maker. The Windows backup solution makes it easy to create reliable copies of your important files and folders.

Choose the content to be backed up, select a storage destination, and define when the backup should run. BackUp Maker supports scheduled and event-based backups, compressing your data into space-saving ZIP archives. Store backups on internal or external drives, USB devices, network locations, web servers, or cloud services.

Sensitive backups can be protected with strong AES encryption supporting up to 256 bits. For off-site storage, encrypted archives can be transferred via SFTP, FTP, or FTPS.

The software also provides advanced options for efficient backup management. Include only newly added or modified files, retain multiple backup versions, use different destinations for additional protection, and automate individual actions before or after the backup process.

    Simple to Use Backup Software

    Date: Sep 04 2026
    Summary

    Again, I love this product. Having used several other Backup programs over the years, Backup Maker is the one I still use today.

    Positive

    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.

    Negative

    I wish it was faster but I can live with the speed of the backup.

    Why I Use Backup Maker

    Date: Sep 07 2026
    Summary

    It has all the features I would desire in such a utility program without all of the 'bells and whistles' found in some programs. I'm somewhat 'Old School' and the interface fits my needs and taste just right. The report given after each backup is particularly useful. I will always use this program.

    Positive

    I'm a developer and it's extremely important that my work is competently backed up to avoid potential mishaps. I've been using BackupMaker for several years now. It performs it's job particularly quick and well.

    Negative

    Had a few minor issues that were taken care of or explained quickly by tech support.

    Just Excellent

    Date: Sep 05 2026
    Summary

    I've used this for daily and monthly backups for many, many, years. I also use Macrium for images, but BackUp Maker is my easy and reliable data backup.

    Positive

    Easy to set up and runs reliably on any schedule that you want. I have used it daily for years and have had very few issues.

    Negative

    You need to be very careful is you want to use the "Procedure before/after backup". feature. It requires some technical knowledge.

    The change to/from daylight savings time will force a full backup.

    Best Backup Program On The Market

    Date: Sep 04 2026
    Summary

    Best and easiest backup program on the market. I like the ability to immediately just go to my file a manager, find the backed up file, and simply unzip it, without needing a special program to un-encrypt it.
    I like the way that it intuitively deletes the oldest backup to make room for the newest.

    Positive

    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.

    Negative

    Step by step backup setup instructions would be a nice addition.

    My favourite backup software

    Date: Sep 05 2026
    Summary

    I really like using this software because of how quickly a basic backup can be set up and that it's unobtrusive. I would like to see an option added to allow a backup to be skipped if there's nothing to back up.

    Positive

    The use of standard ZIP format archives, the ease of use on the interface and that it works away in the background and doesn't interrupt you unless necessary.

    Negative

    I have not been able to find an option to do nothing if no modified files are found because it generates an error report if there are no changed files when that can be a valid situation.

    Best Backup software

    Date: Sep 05 2026
    Summary

    My overall experience with BackUp Maker has been excellent. I use it every day and trust it with my important files. It is a powerful and dependable backup program, and I would gladly recommend it to anyone looking for a flexible backup solution.

    Positive

    I use BackUp Maker for my daily backups and I am very satisfied with it. It offers an impressive range of options and allows me to customize every backup exactly as I need. The software is reliable, flexible, and regularly updated.

    Negative

    The large number of options can be a little overwhelming at first, and some of the advanced settings could be explained more clearly. However, once everything is configured, the program is easy to use. I have not encountered any major problems.

    quick and easy tool

    Date: Sep 04 2026
    Summary

    I've been using the business version of the software for several years and am very satisfied, great value for money and I stay a subscription customer

    Positive

    Extensive configuration possible based on backup options (incremental, full, etc.), the storage (LAN), and the settings options (which data types, etc.)

    Negative

    There's nothing really negative, it would be great if it got a real 64-bit feature, it could maybe improve performance and speed even more

    Data backup: simple yet powerful

    Updated: Sep 01 2026
    Summary

    This type of software – which isn’t overloaded but still offers all the features you need – is very practical for everyday use. If you can overlook the rather unattractive yellow and blue layout, you’ll find a backup programme that ticks all the boxes, is surprisingly easy to use despite – or perhaps because of – its old-fashioned interface, and provides security for your data at a comparatively low price.

    Positive

    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.

    Negative

    The interface looks very old-fashioned and you easily feel as though you’ve been transported back 10 to 20 years. It also cannot be resized or customised in any other way to suit your own preferences. Because of this somewhat antiquated appearance, it’s easy to overlook just how capable the software is and how modern it really is underneath the surface.

    Date: Sep 07 2026
    Summary

    Exceptional backup--Ascomp software is amazing--Including their video capture software, SCREENCAPT, which is exceptional--I tried 20 video capture software programs--none come close to SCREENCAPT. Any software from ASCOMP will be exceptional! VINCENT PROIETTI-Pharmacist/Attorney-email-mycousinvinnyrx@gmail.com

    Positive

    Very easy to use but very effective!--Backup comes out perfect--very easy to set up---Also--their screencapture software (Screencapt) produces the best video copies --I use it for legal cases when needed to be introduced into evidence in Court. There is no equal.

    Negative

    None--It is fast and accurate--and amazingly easy to set up for backup.

    A truly very useful program for data backup.

    Date: Sep 06 2026
    Summary

    A truly excellent program that offers great value for money. The software is continuously being developed, and regular updates are provided. Highly recommended.

    Positive

    A truly very useful program for data backup. Once the desired backups have been set up as a task, you don't have to worry about anything else—everything happens automatically.

    Negative

    The range of features for creating a backup job is truly extensive, and for—let's say—inexperienced users, it can be difficult to find their way around at first.

    Perfect Data Backup

    Date: Sep 10 2026
    Summary

    I am completely satisfied; no complaints. Once you grasp the principle, using it is really simple and self-explanatory.

    Positive

    It is very easy to set up, and the actual backup process—once everything is configured—takes practically just one mouse click. It is simply well designed. Restoring data is just as easy should a problem arise; that, too, is done with a single click. I have been using it for years and have never lost any data. This little program has saved the day for me many times. I would choose it again in a heartbeat, and I use it for both business and personal purposes.

    Negative

    I can't think of anything negative. It is easy to set up, easy to use, and above all, very reliable.
