Backup & Restore

Wise Duplicate Finder can automatically backup the selected files to a specified directory before deleting to prevent users from accidentally deleting the correct files.

The automatic backup function will only take effect when using the "Delete Selected" button in the upper right corner of the window.

1. Backup

You can enable or disable the backup function in the Settings window, and you can also change the storage directory of the backup file.

The more files selected, the larger the file size, and the longer the backup will take. If you are absolutely sure that the selected files can be deleted, you can turn off the backup function to reduce processing time.

2. Restore

You can select the files which you want to restore in the Backup and Restore center and click the Restore button. The files will be restored to the original locations.

Or, click the Delete button to completely remove the selected backup file.

The automatic backup will take up disk space, it is recommended to delete the old backups regularly.
