About CBackup

CBackup is a powerful backup and recovery software that offers several essential capabilities for data protection and system migration. Here's an overview of its main features:

Data Backup: Backupper allows you to create backups of various data types, including files, folders, hard disks, partitions, dynamic volumes, system drives, and emails. This comprehensive backup capability ensures that all critical data can be easily recovered when needed.

Disk Imaging and Cloning: Backupper includes disk imaging and cloning tools, which are useful for creating exact copies (images) of entire hard disk drives, including the operating system. This feature is particularly valuable for migrating your system and data to a new hard drive or SSD (Solid State Disk).
