Prerelease for Windows 10/11 x64.

  • own-backup-install.exe — setup wizard in English and Russian: installs the program for all users and starts its backup service; needs administrator rights. It installs over an earlier version, keeping settings and jobs.

The first published build. Earlier versions were handed over as separate executables and have no entries here.

Added

  • Installer own-backup-install.exe, in Russian and English. It installs the program for all users into C:\Program Files\OwnBackup, registers and starts the backup service, and updates an earlier installation where it is. /S runs it without questions.
  • The uninstaller keeps settings, jobs and history unless asked to delete them; backups are never touched. Deleting the settings also removes the remembered volume keys and what the window remembered: the theme and the language.
  • The large mark in the side strip has a white rim and lets a tenth of the strip show through.
  • Releases are built by GitHub from a version tag.

Changed

  • own-backup-service.exe /install on a computer that already has the service points it at the copy it was run from, instead of failing with "the service already exists".
  • LICENSE holds the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0 as published; the required notice moved to NOTICE.

Fixed

  • The theme switch at the bottom of the side strip no longer turns Same as Windows into a fixed theme when the press changes nothing on screen.

Settings and jobs are kept in C:\ProgramData\OwnBackup, the service log in the Logs folder next to the program. The window needs the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime: Windows 11 has it, and the installer says so if a Windows 10 does not.
