Changes in the individual versions of O&O AutoBackup (Changelog)

Version 8.1

8.1.1011 – published on 07.09.2026

Added:

  • Templates for destination folders for backup, synchronization and restore; with placeholders, multiple folder levels, preview and an option to disable them
  • The destination path can be changed in the wizard for a single run
  • Warning when backing up or synchronizing directly to the root directory of a drive or share
  • NAS and network shares as a separate destination type with saved credentials and automatic reconnection
  • “Open folder” for source and destination in the pair details; with a selection when multiple sources are used
  • Option to prompt for confirmation before deleting at the destination for manually started mirroring or bidirectional synchronization
  • “Continue in background” on every progress page: the run continues and the display returns to the home page

Changed:

  • Clicking the card of a running operation opens its progress page
  • Modify, Restore and Cancel are no longer available on the card of a running operation; cancellation is performed on the progress page
  • Metrics on a card are refreshed after a run has finished even if the home page was visible during the run
  • The deletion confirmation counts only objects that are actually removed and not replaced files
  • The “Add destination” tile remains visible in long destination lists; new destinations are automatically brought into view

Fixed:

  • Synchronization uses the selected destination folder and no longer creates an invisible “Sync” subfolder
  • An expired trial retains its state without an Internet connection and starts in the intended expired state
  • Folders that do not yet exist on network shares are created and free space is detected correctly
  • Backup pairs with multiple sources receive unique names based on the number of their source folders
  • A corrupted working directory under %TEMP% is automatically repaired at startup
  • The update check and update dialog are started only once; the dialog appears centered when the main window is hidden
  • Previously known updates remain available after skipped or failed checks
  • The first backup starts only after the setup question has been answered and not already in the background while the dialog is open
  • Runs postponed to the next full hour are scheduled at least five minutes in the future; otherwise, the following full hour is used

Info:

  • Compatible with Windows 11 and Windows 10; x86, x64 and ARM architectures
  • Available in German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Chinese (Simplified)
