In their own words
Super Grate
Super Grate is a free, open-source Windows utility for backing up and migrating user profiles through a graphical interface to Microsoft's User State Migration Tool (USMT). It supports local use on non-domain PCs and remote operations on computers joined to an Active Directory domain. For remote work, operators can select computers through Active Directory filters for hostname, description, or organizational unit. Profiles can be saved to a backup store and restored to a destination computer, with an option to set a different destination username. The maker says it accounts for files, media, contacts, emails, Windows settings, program data, and internet settings. It can run from a network share with shared backup storage, configuration, and logging, or from an external drive or thumb drive. The quick start guide says to run the downloaded executable; installation is not required. The product lists compatibility from Windows 7 through Windows 11 and is licensed under GPL-3.0. Remote operations rely on WMI, and the remote computer must be online while the operator has administrator access.
