The holidays are an expensive time, so we’re bringing you a special treat: a full, free Windows program to download every day until Christmas.

Peek under the sixth door on our free downloads advent calendar to find Ashampoo Backup 2018 – a complete backup tool that could save your most precious files in the event of a storage disaster.

Download Ashampoo Backup 2018
Backing up your valuable files isn't the most fun task, and it's easy to put off, but it doesn't have to be a hassle. Ashampoo Backup 2018 is easy to set up, and can work silently in the background while you're getting on with other tasks.

You can choose either full or incremental backups, depending on your preferences. Full backups are quicker to restore in an emergency, but take more space. Incremental backups only copy the files that have been changed since the last full backup, which is quicker and creates smaller files, but is slower to restore because all the increments have to be combined.

Day 7

Ashampoo Undeleter


It's all too easy to accidentally delete important files – particularly from removable storage like SD cards – and then empty the Recycle Bin without giving them a second thought. Thankfully, Windows doesn't immediately erase files completely. Instead, the space they occupy is marked as available to be overwritten by other files, so if you act quickly, you might be able to get them back.

That's where Ashampoo Undeleter comes in. It scans for deleted files and lists them along with their condition, indicating how likely it is that you'll be able to restore them successfully. If you see the files you want, just select them and Ashampoo Undeleter will restore them to the location of your choice with a click.
