Release
Genie Backup Manager AI 10.2.0
Published 17 October 2026
What changed
Windows Server, backups nobody can change, and updates that install themselves.
- New: GBM AI runs on Windows Server 2016 to 2025, Server Core included, with a Server licence or a 15-day Server trial. The Server trial can be downloaded from the website.
- New: updates install by themselves on every PC, without a Windows prompt.
- New: backups in an S3 bucket can be locked, so nobody can change or delete them before their date.
- New: old backups are checked now and then, and a restore takes a damaged file from the second copy.
- New: the backup service can run as a local or domain account, to reach shares only that account can open.
- New: a daily summary e-mail at the hour you choose.
- New: backups every 15 or 30 minutes, in Home, Pro and Server.
- Very large files are stored in parts of 4 GB, and fit on FAT32 drives.
- The gbm command line imports jobs and saves share passwords and S3 accounts.
- An evaluation licence pauses backups when it ends, like a trial.
- On Windows Server the Account page speaks of this server, and a Pro or Home key is refused there.
- A new help page explains how to keep a copy of your backups offsite.
- A backup set deleted outside the app no longer counts on the job page.
- A service stopped in Services stays stopped.
- Backups to hard disks and USB disks use less memory.
- Full backups no longer download Google Drive's files again.
- A trial no longer ends early when the PC's identity reads differently once.
- Home shows your recent activity when the app opens before the background agent is ready.
- Genie's notes on a draft job are in the app's language.
