Release
Genie Backup Manager AI 10.2.2
Published 19 October 2026
What changed
Windows Server, backups nobody can change, and updates that install themselves, with fixes for the background service and updates.
- An update no longer turns the background service back on after you turned it off, and leaves a service you disabled in Windows as it is.
- Updates install by themselves on a PC whose background service is disabled in Windows.
- A Windows Server trial now gets a reminder e-mail before it ends.
- 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.
