The Easiest Way to Back Up to Cloud from Windows - Automatic, Encrypted, Silent
Softyz Inc. makes it simple to back up to cloud from any Windows PC — running silently in the background, using AES-256 zero-knowledge encryption, with no impact on your computer's performance. Whether you're protecting personal files or critical business data, Softyz Inc. works as your always-on online backup software — capturing every change, without you lifting a finger.
Core features
Everything your Windows PC needs to stay safe
Six powerful capabilities working together — all managed from one clean, minimal tray app.
Define everything in a simple YAML config — paths, schedules, exclusions, retention policies, and encryption keys. Version control your backup config just like your code.
Only changed blocks are uploaded — not whole files. This keeps bandwidth usage minimal and backup windows short, even for large directories.
Run as a systemd service for always-on protection, or trigger backups with cron for fine-grained scheduling. Works exactly how you’d expect on Linux.
Files are encrypted client-side using 256/192/128-bit AES before transmission. Your private key never leaves your machine — not even Softyz Inc. can access your data.

What Windows users say
Windows — Reviews from US users
My computer crashed the night before a huge client presentation. I messaged Softyz Inc support at 2 AM — got a real person in under 3 minutes. They walked me through restoring to a borrowed laptop in under 20 minutes. Saved the presentation. Saved the client.”
The delta sync technology is genuinely impressive. I have a 200 GB project folder and Softyz only uploads the parts that changed — so a 5 KB edit to a Photoshop file doesn’t trigger a 2 GB re-upload. The tech actually works the way it’s supposed to. First backup tool that has ever done this right for me.
I was worried it would slow down my PC — I’ve had backup tools do that before. Softyz Inc runs at literally 0–1% CPU. I run it on a 7-year-old Dell and it doesn’t skip a beat. It’s faster than the old backup tool was at just existing.

No. Softyz uses intelligent throttling technology that limits CPU usage to near zero during backup. It detects when you’re actively using your PC and automatically reduces its activity — you won’t notice it’s running.
Softyz will automatically resume the backup the next time your PC is on and connected to the internet. No files are skipped or missed — it picks up exactly where it left off.

Both. You can choose individual folders for targeted backup or opt for a full system backup that captures your Documents, Desktop, Downloads, Photos, and custom folders — all in one plan.
Yes. All data is encrypted on your device with 256-bit AES before it ever leaves your PC. Even in the unlikely event of a server-side breach, your files remain completely unreadable to anyone without your personal encryption key.
Download the Softyz Inc agent for Windows, sign in to your free account, and choose the folders you want protected.
