In their own words
FolderRewind
FolderRewind is a free Windows application for backing up and restoring files, project data, and game saves. It offers full, smart incremental, and overwrite backups using 7-Zip, with 7z and zip compression and configurable levels, methods, and thread counts. The home page says encrypted backups use AES-256. Automation can run at intervals, on a schedule, at startup, for selected targets, or when conditions are met. FolderRewind uses rclone to transfer local backup chains to cloud storage as an extra redundancy layer; its guide demonstrates OneDrive setup and mentions WebDAV bridges such as OpenList. The official MineRewind extension adds Minecraft save discovery, hot backup and restore, hotkeys, and coordination with the current world. Restoring partial backups forces Overwrite and disables Clean to prevent removing files outside the backup scope. Requirements are Windows 10 version 1809 or later, or Windows 11, on x64 or ARM64. The maker recommends Microsoft Store; MSI is marked beta and MSIX is offered for advanced sideloading.
