Reference for Windows 11 and Windows 10 settings

The information provided on this page includes details for accessing the status of Windows Backup and Restore settings that are supported for both Windows 10 and Windows 11. This public documentation ensures effective data portability by providing third-party developers with a streamlined process to access the data. Settings that are supported on Windows 11 only are documented in Reference for Windows 11 settings.

Settings status is accessed in one of two ways:

1. Via the Windows registry: For settings below that include registry details, please use that information to access the settings.
2. Via the Cloud Data Store Reader tool. These settings must be extracted from a data store to be readable. If the setting below does not list registry details, then the settings must be extracted using the Cloud Data Store Reader tool. For information on how to use this tool, see Cloud Data Store Settings Reader Tool (readCloudDataSettings.exe).
