During backups, Ashampoo® Backup Pro 16 constantly verifies each operation to avoid data inconsistency. It can either be run from a portable flash drive/hard disk or an optical medium, like a DVD.

And if worst comes to worst and your system suffers from total failure, the program's rescue system will still allow you to boot your machine and restore your backup without data loss. Restoring archives can either be achieved through the program itself or Windows Explorer.

Users have total control over the storage location and medium, from traditional hard disks to online cloud services for maximum accessibility–and this applies to both individual files and entire disk partitions. Four selectable compression methods and strong encryption ensure space-efficient and secure backup archives. For that, Ashampoo® Backup Pro 16 monitors the system load and only becomes active when enough resources are available. Backups can be created fully automatically thanks to smart background technology that does not interfere with normal PC operation. Archives can easily be restored in the event of hardware issues or system malware infections. Ashampoo® Backup Pro 16 is Windows-based a comprehensive backup solution to back up or restore any file, partition or bootable operating system.
