About FBackup

FBackup is free backup software to backup files or folders using "mirror backup". It allows you to create one time backup or scheduled/automatic backup job to any USB removable storage device, local hard drive or network shared location. With the support for many plugins, you can easily backup the software files saved deep within.

However, it supports neither system backup nor disk imaging. Therefore, you need to find an FBackup alternative to create a system image or disk image. Furthermore, it only keeps 1 version of backup, so incremental backup and differential backup are out of the question.

Free alternative to FBackup - AOMEI Backupper Standard

Free backup and restore software, AOMEI Backupper Standard, is a superb replacement for FBackup.

  • It allows you to create image backup of Windows system, entire hard drive, files and folders to any local or network location as long as it is detected in File Explorer.

  • You can use it to create multiple scheduled backup jobs and keep as many versions of backup as you want.

  • It provides more functions than FBackup such as incremental backup and differential backup and email notification.

With backup images around, you can restore your data whenever you need. Apart from restoring a backup within Windows, you can create a bootable media in order to restore image backup in case of boot failure.
