Real-time backups
Nothing gets past unnoticed

Our new real-time backup technology tracks your most important folders for file changes and updates your backups accordingly–and you get to individually pick those folders! This means your files are kept safe automatically and it certainly takes the fear out of sudden crashes or system freeze-ups. Never again will you have to worry whether your current archives really include all of your latest files. It's another step toward the perfect backup solution!

Plug & Play backups
Hook it up and you're good to go!

With plug & play, backing up external devices is a joy: Once set up, Ashampoo Backup Pro will run your plans automatically as soon as the affected drives are connected to your PC. This means, you can instantly back up the files of your flash drive simply by plugging it in–no need to run the program, no additional clicks! With Ashampoo Backup Pro makes backing up your files a smooth, seamless, fun experience!

State-of-the-art rescue system
Rescue system based on the latest Windows

Ashampoo Backup Pro's got your back when disaster strikes and your system crashes: Our Windows-based state-of-the-art rescue system can reboot your PC either from DVD or USB stick. Instead of a full Windows reinstall, you can then simply restore your previous system backup and return your PC to normal. Save time and effort and keep your PC, and your files, safe with Ashampoo Backup Pro!

Bitlocker support
Unlock and use BitLocker-encrypted drives

Windows encrypts drives via BitLocker to protect them against unauthorized access. This makes it harder, sometimes even impossible, for backup software to access your files. Ashampoo Backup Pro not only sees your BitLocker-encrypted drives but can also access them to store your file archives. Naturally, the drives are not only accessible during normal operation but also through the rescue system!

Off to a great start with Ashampoo® Backup Pro
1-Click access to all vital sections!



Our backup solution works for everyone, from beginner to data security specialist. That's why we've made our backup plans as flexible and versatile as possible! The new presets save your data in just a few clicks. Would you like to back up your documents only or your entire system? Do you want to save your emails, contacts or browser data? Or do you prefer a more refined approach with custom plans specifically tailored to your needs? Even highly sophisticated backup plans only take a few clicks. Simple or sophisticated, creating backup plans is a breeze with the new Ashampoo Backup Pro!

Future-proof cloud support
Instant access to all popular providers and storage methods



Cloud storage has long been a secure way of backing up your data. As cloud providers keep advancing their services and storage methods, so do we: Ashampoo® Backup Pro has been fully updated to support the latest and most secure online data transfer methods! Back up your data to Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, OneDrive Business / Office 365, Owncloud, Telekom MagentaCLOUD, Strato, 1&1 and many others.

Your lifesaver when all else fails
Rescue system to recover corrupted operating systems

Once your PC becomes infected, e.g. through malware, or your hard disks crash or malfunction, your operating system is done for–with reinstalling Windows plus all of your programs being the only path to go forward, unless you have a clean backup! Ashampoo® Backup Pro will save hours of time and effort. The built-in rescue system will boot your PC either from DVD or flash drive and help you restore your system so that your PC works normally again. It's the end of data loss!

Superior malware protection
No chance for ransomware, viruses, and worms

Your PC is under constant threat from all kinds of malware. A single wrong click, a security hole in your system, or an infected email is all it takes to trigger disaster! Antivirus programs can never detect and neutralize all malware. Experts believe 300,000 new threats are created and distributed every day. Ransomware that targets your wallet in return for access to your files is particularly prevalent. Do you really want to negotiate with online criminals? Backups are the only solution that offers 100% security. Once your system becomes infected, simply restore your backup and you're in the clear again!

Professional technology for everyone
Use the techniques of professional system administrators

The security strategies incorporated into this backup solution was designed with business use in mind and comply with the strict standards required in professional environments. Because only the highest standards are good enough to protect your files! Professional administrators appreciate the solid backup engine, constant file verification, and strong encryption, which is why Ashampoo® Backup Pro is also used by major companies. Get industry-grade file protection for your PC!

Don't be afraid of Windows updates!
Simply restore your system to its prior state when it was working fine!

Updates are essential for every PC. Unfortunately, updates can introduce security issues or malfunctions that can cause data loss. At worst, Windows updates can prevent your system from working at all or starting up. These are the painful "but everything was working fine yesterday" moments. Ashampoo® Backup Pro takes your system back to that moment when everything was working perfectly! Face future Windows or security software updates calmly in the knowledge that nothing can harm your PC anymore!

Space-efficient file storage where and how you want it
External hard drive, USB stick, NAS, or cloud: Ashampoo® Backup offers flexible storage options!

Ashampoo® Backup Pro saves your backups to any hard disk, USB stick, network drive or cloud service. The advanced disk image feature uses powerful "infinite reverse incremental" technology that takes up little space but offers maximum security. The program supports four different compression methods. And best of all: Backups created with Ashampoo® Backup Pro require up to 50% less space than other backup solutions!

All-round protection with hard disk checkups
The backup solution that even checks output locations

A backup is only as safe as the hard disk its stored on! That's why Ashampoo® Backup Pro monitors your hard disk's SMART parameters during backups to detect future issues before they happen! This allows you time to react and avoid data loss. The program also features an additional drive / partition check that analyzes and repairs individual sectors. Whether internal or external, Ashampoo® Backup Pro takes extra good care of your hard disks!



No strain on your system
Ashampoo® Backup Pro strategic benefits

Our solution is not only fast but also smart. Most backup solutions will stop your work as soon as backups are created. Once underway your PC is practically paralyzed with slow, if any, response times. With Ashampoo® Backup Pro, this is a non-issue! You won't even notice when backups are created but your archives will still always be up-to-date. Backup Pro does all the heavy lifting in the background and analyzes your system load, only becoming active when enough resources are available without getting in your way. So you can continue to work while Backup Pro works its magic.

Full clarity with Backup Viewer
View archive contents without opening them

While backups are primarily meant for storing and restoring data, sometimes you just want to peek into them. Ashampoo® Backup Pro's Backup Viewer let's you do just that. Access archived files directly without restoring them first. The files are opened in a secure space to avoid modifying or damaging the original archives!
