AppProfileSafe information
What is AppProfileSafe?
AppProfileSafe is an enterprise-grade Windows tool for application-level backup and restore of Registry data, files, and NTFS ACLs.
Unlike full-profile migration tools like USMT (deprecated since Windows 11 24H2), it operates per application using XML-based App Definitions — backing up exactly what each app needs, nothing more. Key features include dry run simulation with full diff reports showing every Registry key, file, and ACL that would change before committing.
A tamper-evident HMAC hash-chained audit trail records every operation with integrity verification.
The path mapping engine rewrites Registry and file paths when usernames or drive letters differ between source and target.
The Community Edition is free forever — full GUI, unlimited applications, simulation, mapping, and local audit logging. No registration, no time limit. The Enterprise Edition adds CLI automation with structured exit codes, SIEM integration (CEF, LEEF, JSON, Syslog), compliance reporting, and a redaction engine. Built on .NET 8 for Windows 10/11 and Server 2016–2025.
