Backup & Restore

Keep a safe and private copy of your most important files, documents, and photos with System Mechanic Backup & Restore. A copy of your important personal digital content is saved on your PC hard drive in case any files are lost or damaged. Keep your backup copies safe and recover a lost or damaged file through an easy 3 step process.


Backup & Restore is available with System Mechanic Pro and Ultimate Defense.

Step-by-Step instructions

Backup & Restore is easy to use. We walk you through the steps to Create, add files to and Restore files from your Backup on your PC.

Backup to your PC

Highly secure – your critical files are in a secure folder on your PC, not in a cloud-based service.

Add new files to your backup

Keep important files safe and secure by adding them to your backup as new files are created, or you update existing files.

Recover files to their original location

No need to hunt for files. If you need to recover a lost or damaged file, they will be restored to the original location, even if you deleted the original file.

Note: Backup & Restore will be available to direct (bought iolo.com) RealDefense customers initially. We’ll expand to partner builds in 2024.

What is iolo's Whole Home License?

The Whole Home License® is iolo’s licensing policy that allows you to install and keep your software running on all of your compatible devices within the same home. Previously, users were allowed to install and license their iolo software simultaneously on a maximum of three PCs. Under the Whole Home License, a single activation key allows you to use your iolo software on all of your PCs, other than any PCs you use for business purposes. What you need to know about Whole Home Licensing

  • You, your spouse, and your relatives living within the same household may use the same license on any number of PCs that you own which are not used for business.
  • For full legal terms and conditions, see https://www.iolo.com/company/legal/eula/

To install your iolo product on additional PCs:

  1. On the additional computer, download the latest version of your iolo product. Choose from the list of downloads offered here.
  2. Follow the steps in the installation wizard, and enter the same Activation Key that you used to install on your original computer.

You can view the Activation Key on the original computer from within System Mechanic > red menu bar > key icon > Activation Key.
