BareBackup

Simple, reliable Windows backups — without agents or subscriptions

BareBackup is a lightweight Windows backup tool for sysadmins and SMBs who want backups to work — without agents, subscriptions, or unnecessary complexity.

• ✅ Standalone & portable – no installation required
• ✅ No agents, no background services
• ✅ Nothing running 24/7 – zero idle resource usage
• ✅ No monthly or yearly subscriptions
• ✅ Configure once, forget about it

BareBackup integrates with Windows native Task Scheduler to run unattended backups using built-in OS components — reliable, predictable, and already battle-tested.

→ Why BareBackup?

Most backup solutions today are:

• too heavy
• too expensive
• too complex
• subscription-based
• or designed for enterprise environments that SMBs don’t have

BareBackup focuses on one thing only:

Doing backups properly, without adding cost or complexity.

→ Key Features

• No agents, no background processes
  BareBackup runs only when scheduled. Nothing consumes CPU or memory when idle.
• Uses Windows native Task Scheduler
  Reliable, battle-tested, and already part of Windows.
• Runs unattended
  Backups execute even if no user is logged in.
• Multiple triggers per job
  Time-based or event-based (startup, login, logout).
• Windows Server friendly
  Fully compatible with Windows Server 2012 R2 → 2022.
• Easy restores — no proprietary formats
  Backups are plain files and folders.
  Restoring is just copy & paste.
• Clear logs and execution history
  Know exactly what ran, when, and what happened.
• Configurable retention
  Keep the last N backups — older copies are cleaned automatically.

→ Restores Made Simple

BareBackup does not use proprietary containers or agents.

Your data is stored as:

• normal files
• normal folders
• readable by any system

If you can browse folders, you can restore your data.

→ The Story Behind BareBackup

I’m a sysadmin.

After years managing backups in small and mid-sized companies, I kept running into the same issue:
there was no simple, reliable backup tool for real SMB environments.

Enterprise software was overkill.
Subscriptions were expensive.
Agents added complexity and consumed resources.

So backups were often handled with:

• scripts
• manual tasks
• fragile setups
• or tools that didn’t really fit

BareBackup was born from that frustration.

What started as a personal solution slowly evolved into a polished tool:
a simple backup utility that provides peace of mind without overloading systems or budgets.

→ Who Is This For?

• Sysadmins
• IT technicians
• MSPs
• Small and mid-sized businesses
• Power users managing their own infrastructure

If you’ve ever written your own backup scripts because existing tools didn’t fit —
BareBackup was built for you.

If you’re looking for a cloud-managed, agent-based enterprise suite — this is not it.
