Genie Backup Manager AI 10.2.2

Your files, on a drive you own. GBM AI (Genie Backup Manager AI) is a Windows backup app for files and folders. Choose what to protect, such as Documents, Desktop, Pictures, a whole user profile or any folder, and it copies it to a drive you own: an internal disk, a USB drive, a network share or NAS, or your own S3-compatible storage (Amazon S3, Wasabi, Backblaze B2, MinIO and others). Your files never go to Genie9.

Each run writes its own dated set, so any point in time restores on its own. Choose full, incremental, differential or mirror backups, with zstd compression, deduplication, AES-256 encryption and VSS snapshots for files that other programs hold open.

Describe it. Genie sets it up. Say what you want in plain words, such as "back up my photos to the NAS every Sunday night and keep six months". Genie drafts a real job, the app dry-runs it against your drives, and nothing is saved until you approve it. Ask Genie runs online and needs a free Genie9 account. Backups and restores need neither.

Search every backup, drive unplugged. Find searches every file you have ever backed up, even when the backup drive is in a drawer. Restore is always free, in every edition, even after a trial ends or a licence lapses.

Buy it once. The Free edition is free for ever on one PC, with two backup jobs. Home ($39 once, 2 PCs, personal use) and Pro ($79 once, 2 PCs, business use, runs as a Windows service with nobody signed in) include a year of updates, and the app keeps working after that. Try Pro free for 15 days with no account or card. Full refund within 14 days of buying.

First released in 2003 as Genie Backup Manager, rebuilt from the ground up for 2026 by Genie9. For Windows 11 and Windows 10 (version 1809 and later), with native x64 and ARM64 builds.
