Windows 10: How to backup apps, data and files?

Hello,I am using Windows Insider as a Dev Channel, sadly Windows wants me to do a clean install of Windows in order to unenroll from Windows Insider. My concern is I have files and apps that I have along with my personal settings how can I backup this like I can with Apple Computers using Time Machine does Windows have something similar to that?

[WPSL] Backup app data

Hi All,

I have a Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight app in the store for quite some time now. I recently noticed that the automatic backup for my app doesn't work.

• The app is listed in my phones (W10M) backup options and automatic backup is enabled
• Disable automatic backup is not checked in the WMAppManifest.xml
• Setting "Windows can include this product’s data in automatic backups to OneDrive." in the Dev Center is checked
• All of the apps data is written to Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.Current.LocalFolder
• Using ISETool I'm able to get all the data

What am I possibly missing here?

Note: This question was posted in the MSDN forums before but MSFT suggested to post this here:

Regards,

Stephan

 

Data backup and recovery help thread

We get heaps of threads on this, so lets make a nice organised list of programs people can use for backing up, restoring, and recovering data.




For a quick start to this, some pointers.

1. If you formatted a drive and did NOT write to it, recovery is possible. If you installed any data over it (such as windows, or copying files to it) then you need to restore a backup, or accept that you will have lost some, most, or all of your data.

2. Backups are not perfect - for example, a virus that killed your machine could also be in your backup. try and backup your important data first, not your operating system and useless files - and store it in more than one place if possible (for example, an external hard drive AND on DVD)




Now to the programs:

Free Data recovery software
Piriform Recuva - Highly recommended by TPU users, myself included.
