Releases

What changed, version by version.

The app checks for updates itself. A licence gets every version released in its year of updates, and keeps them for ever.

  1. Version 10.5.5Latest14 November 2026Continuous protection, refined. Enhanced continuous protection: after you switch it off, the next backup is a full one that holds every file exactly, and switched on again the job starts afresh. Enhanced continuous protection: Back up now includes a file you saved a moment ago. Find's type filter (Documents, Photos and more) finds every file of that type, however many other files a backup holds. Enhanced continuous protection: when you delete a backup of a continuous job, its next save starts a fresh full backup. Enhanced continuous protection: deleting a continuous job's backups waits until the versions kept on this PC have reached the backup drive. A mirror now copies only new and changed files: unchanged files move over from the previous mirror, so it runs much faster and needs room for little more than one copy. A file that can't be read during a backup, such as one in use or a cloud file that won't download, keeps its last backed-up copy in the new backup, so older backups are no longer kept just for it. Delete a backup from the Restore page; GBM AI shows first which later backups go with it. Switching service mode while a backup runs now waits for it to finish, or stops it first if you choose. A job never runs in the app and in the service at the same time. The wizard says how much each new full backup of a large job writes, and how to keep just one. GBM AI stays responsive while a large job with many backups starts. A mirror that has no room for a new full copy says so before it writes anything. Support bundles now include the service's logs. Ask Genie now sees each job's own settings, so a change keeps your filters, compression, verification and run conditions. Before you save a change Genie drafted, the card shows what changes, setting by setting. A draft that changes nothing can't be saved. If a job was changed after Genie drafted a change to it, the draft says so and can't be saved: ask Genie again. Ask Genie answers more questions right, and knows more about the app, its error codes and what each edition has. For an image of the whole PC, Ask Genie points you to BigMind DR, free for one PC. Ask Genie tells your folders apart more reliably, including mail folders and cloud-sync drives. Ask Genie never sends your Windows user name, including inside the filter rules it now reads. New in the help: backing up several folders from a network share. New: What's new, Send to support, Request a feature and Share GBM AI are in the account menu, at the bottom of the sidebar. New: Request a feature sends Genie9 an idea from the app. Leave your address and we write when it ships. New: Share GBM AI. Friends get 20% off Home or Pro with your link; when 3 of them count, you get a Home licence, free. After an update, a dot on your account card points to what's new. Fixed: a continuous job no longer asks for attention after a quiet weekend with no changes to save. New: continuous protection in Pro and Server. Each change is saved within minutes: at most every 1, 5, 15 or 30 minutes. New: a restore timeline. Go back to any moment, zoom in to the minute, or see the whole history. New: put a whole folder back as it was at any moment. Nothing is written over: what changed since moves into a folder beside it. New: a ransomware guard on continuous jobs (Pro and Server). When files change the way ransomware changes them, nothing is saved and the last good backup is kept; Put back brings the files back as they were. The guard tells you at once, by a Windows notification, email and webhook if you use them, with what to do first, and again each day until you answer. New: right-click a file or folder in File Explorer for its previous versions (on Windows 11, under Show more options), in every edition. Older versions of a continuous job thin out by themselves: every save of the last day, one an hour for a week, one a day for a month, then one a week. Continuous jobs save to a drive, a network share or an S3 bucket (a share or a bucket at most every 15 minutes); in a locked bucket, every save is locked too. New: a continuous job whose drive, share or bucket is away waits, and saves everything when it is back. It can keep up to 5 GB of versions on this PC meanwhile. New: in a continuous job, large files such as Outlook's mailbox are saved in blocks, only the parts that changed, and while Outlook is open with the backup service. After a Pro trial, on Home or Free, a continuous job is saved every 15 minutes (on Free, every hour) without the ransomware guard, until Pro is back. Ask Genie sets up and changes continuous protection. Asking Genie to change a job changes only what you asked: the job keeps its other settings and its commands before and after a backup. A folder renamed only in its capitals (Cases to CASES) now comes back with its new name. A backup of a network folder restored to another folder keeps every folder in place. A backup of a NAS that is switched off says the NAS isn't connected, not that the folder is gone, and a continuous job waits for it. Backing up open files (VSS) no longer stops SQL Server's own differential backups from working. On the command line, gbm job run on a continuous job saves its changes and says so, instead of waiting. When the clocks change or the PC moves to another time zone, schedules follow the new time at once and the right backups are kept. A PC that sleeps through its weekly full backup now makes it when it wakes. A new job given the name of a renamed job no longer removes that job's backups. Files with very long names restore over an existing copy, and a name ending in a dot keeps your choice of what to replace. After encryption is turned off, the weekly check no longer reports the older encrypted backups as damaged. A continuous job's second copy only takes what it can restore from. A backup of a whole drive restored into a folder is no longer hidden in File Explorer. A restore's progress no longer goes past 100%. Jobs every 15 or 30 minutes say when they run next in minutes. On the day the clocks go forward, a backup set for the skipped hour runs just after the change, in every time zone. On Windows Server, only an administrator can take charge of the backup service, which can read and restore any file there. Changing a continuous job's destination starts a fresh backup there. While the backup drive is away, the versions kept on this PC stay within their space and move to the drive when it is back, even after a password change. The ransomware guard keeps the last backup from before an attack's first files, and holds until every file is back. Fewer false alarms from the ransomware guard, and it no longer downloads OneDrive files to look at them. After the PC's clock is corrected, or encryption or compression is changed, a continuous job's older versions keep thinning out in the right order. A backup to a network drive that keeps dropping out now stops after a while instead of running for days, and the next backup tries again. When the PC wakes to back up to a network drive, the backup waits for the network instead of failing. When GBM AI's background agent is busy, the app says so instead of saying it isn't running. Send to support now includes the app's own log. Several servers? Buy several Server licences on the website and save up to 30%.7 setups · x64 and ARM64Notes and downloads

New: in a continuous job, large files such as Outlook's mailbox are saved in blocks, only the parts that changed, and while Outlook is open with the backup service. After a Pro trial, on Home or Free, a continuous job is saved every 15 minutes (on Free, every hour) without the ransomware guard, until Pro is back. Ask Genie sets up and changes continuous protection. Asking Genie to change a job changes only what you asked: the job keeps its other settings and its commands before and after a backup. A folder renamed only in its capitals (Cases to CASES) now comes back with its new name. A backup of a network folder restored to another folder keeps every folder in place. A backup of a NAS that is switched off says the NAS isn't connected, not that the folder is gone, and a continuous job waits for it. Backing up open files (VSS) no longer stops SQL Server's own differential backups from working. On the command line, gbm job run on a continuous job saves its changes and says so, instead of waiting. When the clocks change or the PC moves to another time zone, schedules follow the new time at once and the right backups are kept. A PC that sleeps through its weekly full backup now makes it when it wakes. A new job given the name of a renamed job no longer removes that job's backups. Files with very long names restore over an existing copy, and a name ending in a dot keeps your choice of what to replace. After encryption is turned off, the weekly check no longer reports the older encrypted backups as damaged. A continuous job's second copy only takes what it can restore from. A backup of a whole drive restored into a folder is no longer hidden in File Explorer. A restore's progress no longer goes past 100%. Jobs every 15 or 30 minutes say when they run next in minutes. On the day the clocks go forward, a backup set for the skipped hour runs just after the change, in every time zone. On Windows Server, only an administrator can take charge of the backup service, which can read and restore any file there. Changing a continuous job's destination starts a fresh backup there. While the backup drive is away, the versions kept on this PC stay within their space and move to the drive when it is back, even after a password change. The ransomware guard keeps the last backup from before an attack's first files, and holds until every file is back. Fewer false alarms from the ransomware guard, and it no longer downloads OneDrive files to look at them. After the PC's clock is corrected, or encryption or compression is changed, a continuous job's older versions keep thinning out in the right order. A backup to a network drive that keeps dropping out now stops after a while instead of running for days, and the next backup tries again. When the PC wakes to back up to a network drive, the backup waits for the network instead of failing. When GBM AI's background agent is busy, the app says so instead of saying it isn't running. Send to support now includes the app's own log. Several servers? Buy several Server licences on the website and save up to 30%.7 setups · x64 and ARM64Notes and downloads

  11. Version 10.1.013 October 2026Two copies of every backup, and a Genie that speaks first. New: keep a second copy of each backup on another drive, your NAS or an S3 bucket, made after every backup and checked file by file. Either copy restores on its own. New: Genie's suggestions on Home point out a folder no job backs up, a job that keeps failing, a copy that has fallen behind or a drive running out of room. Worked out on your PC; nothing is sent. New: open your backups in an S3 bucket on a new PC with just the account's keys, and restore from them. New: More from Genie9 shows Genie9's other apps for your PC and phone. With a Home or Pro licence you can hide it in Settings. Ask Genie: type your question first; Genie asks for your free Genie9 account only when it needs it, with just your email. New: Send to support sends the app's details to Genie9 support in one click and gives you a reference to quote. The window lists what is sent first; your files never are. Full backups no longer download unchanged files that OneDrive keeps online only; they are copied from the previous backup. New encrypted backups use stronger, tamper-evident encryption, and need GBM AI 10.1 or later to restore. Updates that Genie9 marks as required come back at every start until they are installed. Email alerts say so when Microsoft 365 has turned password sign-in off, and offer Genie9's email in one click. Pause works inside a large file, and an encrypted backup at maximum compression needs far less memory. The background agent stays lighter with a long history of runs.6 setups · x64 and ARM64Notes and downloads
  12. Version 10.0.6511 October 2026Fixes from the first week after launch. A backup drive that stops answering, such as a USB disk behind a hub, no longer leaves a backup or restore stuck: the app says so and carries on when the drive is back. Stop always ends a backup or restore within a minute. Backups are faster when the files and the backup are on the same hard disk. Restoring with "Keep both" adds a copy only of the files that differ from the backup. Large files to an S3 bucket need far less memory, and files over 5 GB are backed up. When this PC's own drive fills up during a backup, the app names that drive instead of the backup drive. A new Check licence now button in Account asks Genie9 straight away. A licence key Genie9 does not recognise is reported straight away, and Remove licence works for it. Large backups use less memory, and the logs are quieter.6 setups · x64 and ARM64Notes and downloads
  13. Version 10.0.634 October 2026The first release of Genie Backup Manager AI: Genie Backup Manager, rebuilt from the ground up. Your files, on a drive you own. To a disk, a USB drive, a network share or NAS, or your own S3-compatible bucket. Nothing is stored on Genie9's servers. Full, incremental, differential or mirror, with compression and AES-256 encryption. Open files are copied through a Windows snapshot. Every run to a disk, USB drive or network share is read back and checked. Filters and exclusions, with ready-made rules for the folders nobody needs back. OneDrive and Google Drive folders, even the files kept only in the cloud: each is downloaded for the backup and made online-only again, so your disk does not fill. A disk mounted into a folder you back up is backed up with it, and a link to a folder on another drive is followed. Describe a backup in a sentence, and Genie drafts the job: what to include, where it goes, when it runs. You see a dry run before anything is saved. Genie cannot run, change or delete anything on its own, and it never receives file contents, passwords or keys. Six rhythms: every few hours, daily, weekly, monthly, when you sign in, or once. With the Windows service on, backups run with nobody signed in, from the moment Windows starts. A missed backup runs as soon as the PC is back. Battery, full-screen apps and quiet hours are respected. Updates install by themselves with the Windows service, or are offered in the app. You can turn automatic updates off in Settings. Restore from any point in time, to where it was or anywhere else. Find searches every backup, even with its drive unplugged. Restore is never locked, in any edition: not on Free, not after a trial, not after a licence is cancelled. Free, for one PC and two jobs. Home and Pro are bought once, and the licence never expires; a year of updates is included. The Home and Pro setups start a 15-day trial, no card needed. What each edition includes is on the editions page. Windows 11 and 10, x64 and ARM64, in 18 languages. No telemetry.6 setups · x64 and ARM64Notes and downloads
