IMPORTANT NOTE – READ BEFORE ADDING AN ENTRY
This is a list of NOTABLE backup software, as judged by Wikipedia's notability policies, obtained by searching Wikipedia for WP:N. Please don't add external links or wikilinks to nonexistent articles – instead, read our notability policies and write the article first, ensuring to demonstrate notability. Backup software without articles, redlinks, external links, and links to articles that aren't about the backup software in question will be pruned periodically. Fill in the background info too, please, to make this article useful.
