What Can GBM Do?

Genie Backup Manager is a powerful backup and restore utility designed to backup your personal files, folders and settings. However, although this is an important part of disaster recovery, GBM is not intended to recover from a complete system failure in the normal backup procedure; Microsoft Windows needs to be installed and running properly in order for Genie Backup Manager to restore your data and settings.

Private users only need to back up files that they have created or modified themselves. Computers use both program and data files; programs can be reloaded from the original discs, but your data can only be reloaded from backup copies, which is where Genie Backup Manager comes into play.

Although Genie Backup Manager can reset the archive bit/flag of copied files during backup, determining which files have been modified since the last backup run is done using the file's last modified date and time attribute. This ensures that backup jobs are mutually independent, i.e. backing up a certain file with one backup job does not prevent it from being backed up again by another.

Genie Backup Manager is now enhanced with Disaster Recovery feature that enables you to recover your Windows installation after it becomes unstable or inoperable. Genie Disaster Recovery backs up what is needed to recover a system; reducing backup time and space to ensure faster recovery time of system
