MiniTool ShadowMaker

Backing up our data should be part of our PC maintenance routine to avoid losing sensitive information due to accidental deletion or any other kind of disaster.

MiniTool ShadowMaker is a free utility designed to help all kinds of users to make backup copies of files, folders, and even entire disks in the most simple and efficient way. It includes incremental and differential backup options for a perfect data synchronization.

This simple utility opens in an equally simple interface, thus guaranteeing that anyone can benefit from its useful functionality. Surely, some users will find this free tool to be a bit too simple for their requirements, and that’s why MiniTool offers four other commercial solutions to cover even the most demanding backup needs. Thus, you can subscribe to the Pro, Pro Ultimate, Business Standard, or Business Deluxe versions depending on the functionality and the number of users you require.

In a nutshell, MiniTool ShadowMaker can back up and restore files, folders, and entire disks or partitions; perform system backups and restores; synchronize data, and clone basic and dynamic disks. You can schedule your backups and data synchronizations and just forget about cloning your most sensitive information every now and then. As a bonus, the program counts with a set of tools, though nearly all of them (except the option to mount and dismount virtual disks) are exclusive to the paid editions.

If in need of a free and simple yet efficient solution to back up your data and disks, MiniTool ShadowMaker will surely cover all your basic needs. I cannot but recommend you to try it – if you happen to like the way it works but require a more advanced functionality, you can always check the program’s commercial editions.
