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.

Added

  • A menu beside each backup job, also available with a right click: rename, check the latest version or all versions, clean up selected versions, clone settings, mount a version as a disk, open the backup folder, save a version as a standalone VHDX, and delete the job.
  • Version cleanup shows chains and their dependencies. Selecting a copy also selects the versions built on it; deletion requires confirmation and refuses to leave a version without its parent.
  • Saving as VHDX follows the selected version's whole chain. The result opens with Windows alone, is independent of the job, and never replaces an existing file. Encrypted copies require a password or recovery key and are exported without encryption, with a warning before saving.

Changed

  • The bottom strips of the menu, of the list and of the action bar are the same height, so their top lines meet in one line across the window. The buttons of the action bar sit as far from the bottom of the window as from that line; there used to be more room below them than above.

Fixed

  • Checking an image from the command line no longer asks for administrator rights: verification reads image files directly.
  • The installer no longer unpacks a copy of the service program into the temporary folder to stop the running service. An antivirus held that copy, service-control.exe, for analysis, and the installation stood still. The service is now stopped by the program that is already installed.

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.
