You choose what you want to save and use local, remote or network storage as your destination. The app provides incremental processing and a recovery environment for situations where Windows is no longer starting. This allows you to combine planning with preparing for a larger system problem.

The free license requires internet activation and is periodically checked. In addition, there is a concrete storage limit: partitions and storage devices of 8 TB or larger are not supported. That limitation is important when you want to use a large external drive or NAS as part of your plan.

Compare Ashampoo Backup Free with alternatives

If you want to restore a complete Windows installation, compare image backups, recovery media and recovery to another drive. Check if your rescue USB sees your storage controller and which features are in the free edition. A successful backup job doesn't prove that your computer can start the recovery medium.

Our verdict

Backup Free is worth considering if you are looking for a free package for an ordinary Windows PC and the storage limit is not a problem. The recovery environment is more important than a long function list: you also need to be able to access your reserve with a non-starting system.

Therefore check storage capacity, activation and recovery medium before recording a lot of data. For larger storage settings, the limit of 8 TB is a decisive objection. Use the app only when the combination of source, destination and recovery route fits within those conditions.
