Details:

The Windows Backup system component is installed on devices as part of Windows updates released on and after August 22, 2023. This component is designed to provide a cloud solution to back up files and folders, settings, credentials, and apps. In addition to restoring data, users can import data when switching to a new Windows device.


Currently, the Windows Backup app is primarily focused for consumer devices - for example, devices that can be used by signing in to a personal Microsoft account (MSA). It's not presently available for Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) or Active Directory (AD) users. For answers to frequently asked questions related to this component, see KB5032038: Overview of Windows Backup as installed in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
