SavedSafe checks a Windows computer, tells you in plain English which photos and files have no backup, and copies them to a USB drive with one click. It never moves or deletes anything, and nothing is uploaded.
Check time: ~2 min|Files uploaded: 0|Account: noneAre your photos really backed up?
Find out in about two minutes. SavedSafe shows you which photos would be lost if the computer broke, then copies them to a USB drive with one click, neatly sorted by year and month.
On sale for $6.99 through November 19 in the Microsoft Store (regular price $9.99).
Checkup complete · all photos backed upIt doesn't just find the problem. It fixes it.
Already have SavedSafe? The update is free, and the Microsoft Store installs it for you.
Copies them for you
Plug in a USB drive and click "Yes, copy my files". SavedSafe copies the photos, videos, and documents that have no backup, with photos sorted by year and month. Your originals stay exactly where they are.
Forgot where you saved it?
See the files you saved recently, newest first, with pictures of your photos. Click one, then "Open it". It has its own spot in the Start menu: just type "Find a file".
Adds only what's new
Plug the same drive in next month and click "Copy new files". Files already on the drive are skipped, and nothing is overwritten.
A monthly reminder
Turn it on, and SavedSafe gives you a gentle nudge once a month to copy your new photos. Off unless you want it.
Tells you what drive to buy
No drive, or too small? SavedSafe tells you the size you need and prints a shopping note with pictures.
What a checkup looks like
Every place a photo could be backed up is checked, and each one gets a clear status.
OneDrive
Running and signed in. Desktop, Documents, and Pictures are copied to the cloud.
File History
Never turned on. Nothing is being copied to a backup drive.
Old Pictures folder
An old Pictures folder was left behind when OneDrive took over. 142 photos never moved.
USB drive E:
A USB drive is plugged in. Copies of 1,208 photos were found on it.
photos not safe
They exist only on this computer. The report shows which ones, with pictures.
Some moments you only get once
The birthday, the first grandchild, the album your mother kept. Today they are files on a computer. If the drive fails and there is no second copy, they are gone for good.
Grandpa's 80th
Taken on a phone, emailed to Mom, and saved to one computer. Nowhere else.
Mom's album, scanned
Forty years of prints, scanned and saved to OneDrive. This one is safe.
Meeting the baby
Saved to the Downloads folder from a text message, and no backup includes it.
Most people think they are backed up
Backups stop quietly. Nothing warns you until the day the computer will not start. These are the gaps found most often.
An old folder full of photos
OneDrive takes over the Pictures folder, but the old one stays on the computer, full of photos that never moved.
A backup drive that quit
File History was set up years ago. The drive got unplugged, and nothing has been copied since.
The Downloads folder
Photos saved from email and texts land in Downloads, and most backups do not include it.
They used to live in a shoebox
A box of prints could sit in the closet for fifty years.
A computer's hard drive can fail without warning. Today most family photos live in exactly one place.

Your files stay on your computer
Copies only. Never moves or deletes.
The checkup only reads information about your files: their names, sizes, and where they are. Copying happens only when you click Yes, and it only ever adds copies. Nothing is uploaded anywhere, and your report is saved on your own Desktop.
The report works without the internet. Its fonts are built in.
| Moves, changes, or deletes your files | NEVER |
| Copies files to your USB drive | ONLY WHEN YOU CLICK YES |
| Uploads photos or file names | NEVER |
| Needs an account or email | NO |
| Works without the internet | YES |
| Tracking or ads | NONE |
Made by a Windows systems administrator
"The checkup I wanted for my own family's computers."
I look after Windows servers and backups for a living. SavedSafe is the tool I wanted for my own family: simple enough for anyone, and honest about what it finds.
How much does it cost?
$9.99, one time. That's the sale price through November 19; the regular price is $9.99. No subscription, no account, and no ads. You buy it through the Microsoft Store, which handles the payment and refunds.
Will it change or delete my files?
No. SavedSafe never moves, changes, or deletes your files. When you click "Yes, copy my files", it adds copies to your USB drive, in a folder called "SavedSafe Backup". Your originals stay exactly where they are, and nothing already on the drive is overwritten.
Does it send my photos anywhere?
No. Everything happens on your computer. Your report is saved as a page on your own Desktop.
Which computers does it work on?
Windows 11, and Windows 10 version 2004 or newer (any Windows 10 computer that has had its updates since 2020). It does not work on Mac yet. Windows 7 and 8 are too old; if you still use one, copy your photos to a backup drive soon.
What if my USB drive is too small?
SavedSafe tells you before it copies anything. If the drive has room for your photos but not your videos, it offers to copy just the photos. It also tells you what size drive to buy, and can print a shopping note with pictures.
I already have SavedSafe. Do I get 2.0?
Yes, free. The Microsoft Store updates it for you, usually on its own. To get it now, open the Microsoft Store, click Library, then click Get updates.
I'm helping a parent. Can I use it for them?
Yes. The report has a section just for helpers, with the technical details and step-by-step fixes, and it prints neatly.
Where do I get it?
From the Microsoft Store, for $9.99. Use the Get it from Microsoft button on this page.
What if I have a question or a problem?
Email [email protected]. A real person answers, usually within a day or two.
