Gotcha! Backup Utility

Although the name recommends it as such, Gotcha! Backup Utility is not intended to create regular backup files for sensitive information. Its purpose is to help you collect user-related information quickly and with little effort before re-installing the operating system.

No install required

You don’t have to go through the installation process because the application can launch the interface just by double clicking on the downloaded executable file.
Working with the product is extremely easy as there is only one application window to deal with and a minimum set of options, which include defining the storage location and the transfer type (copy or move).

Easy to work with

All the backup options are listed in the screen and you just have to check the entries that should benefit from a safe copy. There is support for multiple system drives, which comes in handy when additional drives are attached to the system.
The list of data Gotcha! Backup Utility can backup includes not just the regular folders for storing documents, images and music, video and downloaded files but also items such as favorite websites stored in Internet Explorer, email managed with Outlook as well as mapped network drives.
Furthermore, the program can save everything available on the desktop and system data such as fonts, drivers, shared documents and even the product key of Windows 7 operating system.
As with every backup utility, Gotcha! makes available the possibility to restore the data. This function is included with the backup files so that no additional download is necessary.

Conclusion

Despite the fact that there is nothing complicated about the application it should come in handy for users that decide to migrate to a different machine or to re-install the operating system. However, make sure you check the data that has been backed up before proceeding to deleting it from the original location.
