The Windows Backup Software That Backs Up Anything to Anywhere

One click. Pick the backup and the version you want, choose a restore location, and BackupKit downloads, decrypts, and unpacks everything for you. On a new PC, point a new backup at the folder that holds your backups and BackupKit adopts their history, ready to restore. Because your archives are standard encrypted zips, you can also restore manually with any tool that handles AES-zip — no vendor lock-in.

Your backups are gone. We cannot reset it, recover it, or help you get in — the password never leaves your machine, so there is nothing on our side to unlock. That is the trade for a destination that can never open your files. Store it in a password manager before your first encrypted backup, not after.

They keep working. Archives are standard AES-encrypted zip files on storage you already control, so 7-Zip, WinRAR, PeaZip or any other archive tool opens them with your password, today, with BackupKit uninstalled. A plain-text HOW-TO-RESTORE.txt in your backup folder spells out the steps. No proprietary format, no vendor in the middle of your restore, and nothing to migrate if you leave.

No — BackupKit is a paid product with a 30-day full-feature free trial. Every feature is unlocked during the trial so you can set up real backups and verify they work end-to-end before paying. Backups are infrastructure, and a crippled free tier would misrepresent what the product does.

BackupKit supports 24 destinations: FTP, FTPS, SFTP, WebDAV, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, pCloud, Box, MEGA, ownCloud, Nextcloud and Seafile (beta), plus local and network drives, and object storage — Amazon S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud Storage and any S3-compatible provider such as Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2, Wasabi and DigitalOcean Spaces. You can connect unlimited accounts per provider and mix destinations across backup jobs.

Tick one box and the backup is encrypted with AES-256 on your machine, before upload — there is no algorithm to choose and no weaker mode to land on by accident. Only you hold the password: it is stored under Windows DPAPI, never sent to us, and restoring an encrypted backup asks for it. Transport uses secure protocols (FTPS, SFTP, HTTPS).

Run backups daily, weekly on specific days, at custom intervals (hours/days/weeks), or strictly manually. If your PC was off at scheduled time, you choose what happens: skip, run immediately when it comes back online, or wait for the next slot. Retention policies auto-clean old versions by age or count.

Yes — the health dashboard and the tray icon show green/yellow/red status per job at a glance, and you can configure notifications on success, failure, or completion with errors via email, Telegram, webhooks, local scripts, or in-app tray popups. Set up an integration once, enable it per backup. BackupKit also tells you when a backup doesn't run at all: late, missed while the PC was off, or stuck. An optional heartbeat to a service like healthchecks.io covers the times BackupKit itself isn't running.

BackupKit is a Windows-native desktop app with a pixel-perfect UI in both dark and light themes. It runs on Windows 10 and 11. You can of course back up to any platform — including Linux servers over SFTP, NAS devices, or any of the supported clouds.
