More security for everyday use and emergencies
Ashampoo Backup Pro 26 backs up files, partitions and complete Windows systems without slowing down your computer. Easy Backup guides you to a backup in two steps, while the central dashboard clearly displays all backup plans. Whether documents, entire drives or system images: the software runs resource-saving in the background and keeps data backup ready – from quick restore through to full recovery – in just a few clicks.
Flexible backups – local, external, in the cloud
With Ashampoo Backup Pro 26 you can combine a wide variety of targets:
- local backup to internal and external hard drives
- backups to NAS or in the network
- cloud targets with common providers (e.g. for outsourced backups)
- plug-and-play backups when connecting external media
BitLocker-encrypted drives can be unlocked directly in the program, so that encrypted data can also be seamlessly integrated into the backup software workflow. Different schedules and backup schemes help to neatly organize daily, weekly or monthly backups.
Convenient operation in everyday use
The modern dashboard bundles all backup plans, the status of the last runs and any warnings. Real-time backups monitor sensitive folders and react immediately to changes, while classic scheduled backups save larger amounts of data at defined intervals. The interface has been further simplified so that even less experienced users can quickly set up a working data backup system without having to struggle through complicated menus.
Rescue system and recovery
A major advantage of Ashampoo Backup Pro 26 is the integrated rescue system. You can create a bootable medium (USB stick or DVD) with which a Windows system that can no longer be started can be restored from an existing image. This is ideal in cases of:
- serious system errors or update disasters
- defective system files
- replacement or upgrade of the system hard disk
For smaller mishaps, the quick restore of individual files or folders is often sufficient. Versioning makes it possible to restore earlier states, for example when a file has been accidentally overwritten or deleted.
Quiet in the background, clear in an emergency
The backup engine is designed to run in the background and hardly load the PC. While you are working, changes are silently transferred into your backup image. Only in an emergency does Ashampoo Backup Pro 26 step into the foreground: clear restore wizards guide you step by step through the restore process so that you keep an overview even in stressful situations.
Practical tips
For robust protection, it is worth combining local and external backups. A typical approach:
- daily incremental backup to an external drive or NAS
- regular full backups to a second medium that is not permanently connected
- creation of a rescue medium directly after the basic configuration
This way you are better protected against both accidental deletion and hardware failures. Combined with a sensible schedule and the use of cloud targets, this creates a multi-level Windows data backup concept that appeals to home users and power users alike.
Conclusion
Ashampoo Backup Pro 26 combines simple setup, flexible backup targets, real-time backups and a powerful rescue system to create a well-rounded solution. Anyone who wants to reliably protect files, partitions and entire systems will find here a powerful tool that works quietly in the background – and in an emergency ensures that your data and your Windows system are quickly ready for use again.
