WoW Backup

Installation & Download

Pre-built binaries for macOS, Windows, and Linux are provided on each release.

👉 See here for download links and step-by-step installation instructions.

Key Features

  • ⚙️ Smart Auto-Configuration: Automatically detects standard WoW install locations (supporting retail and classic directories) and validates folder permissions.
  • ⏰ Automated & Scheduled Backups: Background scheduler ensures regular backups at a user-defined time.
  • 📦 Compression & History Management: Supports both folder replication and ZIP compression, with automatic pruning of backups beyond the configured limit.
  • 🎮 Game State Detection: Checks for running WoW processes before running backups to prevent file-locking conflicts.
  • 🔔 Native OS Notifications: Notifies the user when backups start, succeed, fail, or are skipped.
  • 🚀 Launch at Startup: Integrated with macOS LaunchAgents (~/Library/LaunchAgents/) and Windows Registry (HKCU\...\Run).
  • 🎨 Theming & Customization: Dynamic theming supporting Light/Dark mode, with configurable accent colors.
