FolderRewind

FolderRewind is a free Windows application for backing up and restoring files, project data, and game saves. It offers full, smart incremental, and overwrite backup modes, with 7z and zip compression options. Backup settings include configurable compression levels, methods, and thread counts, while the home page says encrypted backups use AES-256. You can automate backups by interval, schedule, startup, selected target, or conditions. FolderRewind can use rclone to transfer local backup chains to cloud storage as an extra redundancy layer; its guide demonstrates OneDrive and mentions WebDAV bridges such as OpenList. For Minecraft Java saves, the MineRewind extension adds save discovery, hot backup and restore, hotkeys, and coordination with the current world. Partial-backup restores use Overwrite and disable Clean to avoid deleting files outside the backup scope. The listed requirements are Windows 10 version 1809 or later, or Windows 11, on x64 or ARM64. The maker recommends the Microsoft Store; MSI is marked beta and MSIX is offered for advanced sideloading.
