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.
