What it does

A backup you can actually verify, file by file.

KDL Backup / Care copies your folders and then checks every file against its SHA-256 fingerprint. The original is never modified and nothing is ever deleted automatically. The application also shows disk health, so a tired drive can be spotted before it fails.

  • You know whether the copy is truly identical to the original: every file is checked
  • Your original files are never modified or deleted
  • Later copies only pick up what has changed
  • A tired disk gets spotted before it fails
  • Windows, macOS and Linux
Free or Pro

What the software does with your data

The guardrails are strict: read-only on the source, no silent deletion, and a readable report of what was copied.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why verify with SHA-256?

Because a copy that reports itself as finished is not always identical to the original. The fingerprint proves it.

Can the application erase my files?

No. It never deletes anything automatically on the source.
