Impressive -- I've seen a lot of programs do parts of this but nothing that brings it all together.

Gotcha! Data Backup is at version 0.5.0.9 (08-18-2013):
FIXED: Somehow I let a minor typo in my code slip by. Which was causing Gotcha to fail to find some user data in specific circumstances.

To the best of my knowledge, there's no mention of it anywhere in the topic (e.g., like at http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/ ... 417#p70417)... :roll:

Gotcha! Data Backup at version 2015.9.13.0, changes:
v2015.9.13.0
Fix: No more asking user to allow Registry imports during Restore process.
Fix: Restoring from within a non-Admin User account had issues restoring data into the Admin logged in profile instead of the current users profile.
New: Backup will now check Desktop shortcuts for possible hijacking of iexplore.exe, chrome.exe and firefox.exe. User will be prompted if they wish to remove any possible hijacked shortcuts from the backup.

v2015.4.30.0
Fix: Outlook 2013 Product Key retrieval is now working.
New: Outlook 2013 pst and settings backup added.
New: Outlook 365 pst and settings backup added. (No product key retrieval for Outlook 365... since it only uses your microsoft email/password for purchase verification.)
