AlienRespawn
What is AlienRespawn? (from Alienware)
AlienRespawn is a safe, simple and reliable backup and recovery solution that can protect your system (OS, applications, drivers, settings) and data (music, photos, videos, documents and other important files) from data loss.
Overview
AlienRespawn is a software program developed by Alienware. The most common release is 9.4.67, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The primary executable is named datasafe.exe. The setup package generally installs about 132 files and is usually about 276.08 MB (289,489,937 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 69% of users of AlienRespawn come from the United States, it is also popular in Canada and United Kingdom.
