O&O Software: Windows backup, recovery and clean-up tools

Shopping at O&O Software? See all current O&O Software discount codes and deals, checked regularly.

O&O Software is a Berlin company that has been making tools for Windows since 1997. If you look after your own PC, or the family laptop, its programs cover the jobs that are easy to put off: making a full backup, getting back a file you deleted by mistake, wiping a drive properly before you sell it, and keeping disks in good order. It suits home users who want a straightforward tool for one task, as well as small offices that need server editions.

Programs are sold as downloads through O&O's official shop, run by the reseller Cleverbridge, and UK buyers can pay in pounds with VAT included. Most home products are one-off licences for a single PC rather than subscriptions, so you pay once and keep using that version. Defrag, the program the company launched with in 1998, is now on version 32, and several tools have had updates in recent weeks, so you are buying software that is still actively developed.
