AppProfileSafe is an enterprise-grade Windows desktop application for granular, application-level backup and restore of Registry data, files, and NTFS permissions (ACLs).
Unlike USMT (deprecated since Windows 11 24H2) or full-profile migration tools, AppProfileSafe operates at the individual application level using XML-based App Definitions. This means you back up and restore exactly what each application needs — nothing more, nothing less.
CORE CAPABILITIES:
- Manifest-driven Export and Import of application settings across Registry hives (HKCU, HKLM, HKU), files, and NTFS ACLs with full SDDL capture.
- Dry Run with Diff Report: Simulate any operation against the live system before committing changes. The diff report shows every registry key, file, and ACL that would change.
- Preflight Validation: Automated checks for manifest paths, app definitions, disk space, XSD schemas, and system readiness before any operation starts.
- Tamper-Evident Audit Trail: Every operation is recorded in an HMAC hash-chained local audit log with integrity verification on demand.
- Path Mapping Engine: Declarative XML rules rewrite registry paths and file system paths when usernames, drive letters, or directory structures differ between source and target.
- SIEM Integration (Enterprise): Forward audit events via CEF, LEEF, JSON, or Syslog. Webhook delivery and redaction engine for sensitive fields.
- CLI Automation (Enterprise): Full command-line interface with structured exit codes, silent mode, and JSON reports for pipeline integration.
- Compliance Reports (Enterprise): Automated PDF reports generated from audit data for regulatory and internal review.
EDITIONS:
- Community Edition: Free forever. Full GUI, unlimited applications, simulation, mapping, and local audit logging. No registration, no time limit.
- Enterprise Edition: Adds CLI automation, SIEM integration, compliance reporting, and email support. Licensed per device per year.
Built on .NET 8 with a 4-layer architecture. Ideal for PC refresh cycles, Windows 10 to 11 migrations, VDI/DaaS environments, and regulated industries requiring auditable migration processes.
