20 years of Backup4all

View all posts

The first official version of Backup4all was released exactly 20 years ago, in 2002.

Development for it started 3 years prior to that, in 1999. Initially it was just a tool developed to be used internally, but after (a lot of) positive feedback from anyone that interacted with it, we decided to take it public and released version 1.0 of Backup4all exactly on the 20th of December in 2002.

You can see a screenshot of the original 1.0 version below:

Even now, 20 years later, we consider it to look very good with a focus on simplicity that we propagated throughout all these years.

Backup4all 1.0 was released initially as freeware, however due to a sharp increase in userbase we had to release it as commercial and hire a few developers to focus solely on developing it.

Throughout these years its user-base continued to grow, to the point where Backup4all has over 1 million users. We still focus on trying to keep it simple, while also relying on client feedback to add new features.
