The app was initially thought out as a tool for <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/windows-11\">Windows 11<\/a>, but the company is now testing a preview in the build of <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/windows-10\">Windows 10<\/a> in the Release Preview Channel.<\/p>\n<p>Windows Backup is a cloud-based application that allows you to backup and restore files, apps, settings, and credentials. The solution isn&#8217;t meant to create a backup of the operating system since the company prefers the use of the <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/reset-pc-keeping-files-windows-10\/\">&#8220;Recovery&#8221; settings to reset the system<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, the app doesn&#8217;t offer anything new as it&#8217;s an interface to manage the same backup settings available in the &#8220;Sync your settings&#8221; page available through the &#8220;Accounts&#8221; section in the Settings app in combination with the &#8220;Sync and backup&#8221; settings from the OneDrive app.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Although the &#8220;Windows Backup&#8221; app doesn&#8217;t actually perform a backup of your apps. Instead, it creates a list of the apps already installed on the computer and their settings (if applicable), and when you have to restore the system from backup, the operating system will download a fresh copy of the apps from the Microsoft Store, and then it will restore the settings.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_158280\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-158280\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/windows-10-new-backup.webp?resize=827%2C635&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Windows 10 new backup app\" width=\"827\" height=\"635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/windows-10-new-backup.webp?w=1019&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 1019w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/windows-10-new-backup.webp?resize=300%2C230&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/windows-10-new-backup.webp?resize=748%2C574&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 748w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/windows-10-new-backup.webp?resize=150%2C115&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Windows 10 new backup app<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On the other hand, the app creates a backup of your files, settings, and credentials to your OneDrive account.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the Windows Backup app doesn&#8217;t offer an interface to restore items individually. Instead, you can choose to restore your stuff during the initial setup of Windows 10 on a new device or after a clean installation. In the case of your files, you can always restore them from the OneDrive folder.<\/p>\n<p>The version of the backup app for Windows 10 (via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PhantomOfEarth\/status\/1690143092224266244\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@PhantomOfEarth<\/a>) is identical to the version the company is still testing for <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-23h2-new-features\">Windows 11 23H2<\/a>. It&#8217;s unclear if the idea of bringing the app to Windows 10, but it could be the case that Microsoft plans to make it a tool that users can use to easily transition from Windows 10 to 11, in addition to protecting files, settings, and credentials.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update August 28, 2023:<\/strong> In addition to adding the new application, Microsoft is updating File Explorer with a new <strong>&#8220;Start backup&#8221;<\/strong> option in the &#8220;Home&#8221; tab to access the new backup feature.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_158620\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-158620\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/explorer-start-backup-option.webp?resize=827%2C383&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"File Explorer Start backup option\" width=\"827\" height=\"383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/explorer-start-backup-option.webp?w=864&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 864w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/explorer-start-backup-option.webp?resize=300%2C139&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/explorer-start-backup-option.webp?resize=150%2C69&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">File Explorer Start backup option<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In my installation, the &#8220;Start backup&#8221; option only appears in the &#8220;Home&#8221; tab when viewing the &#8220;Desktop&#8221; page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Windows 10 will now also include the new Windows Backup originally planned for Windows 11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":158279,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,23],"tags":[171,2540],"class_list":["post-158277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-windows","tag-backup","tag-windows-10"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Microsoft brings new Windows Backup app to Windows 10 - Pureinfotech<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Windows 10 will now also include the new Windows Backup originally planned for Windows 11.
