If you are serious about some of your games, you might not like to lose your game progress, levels and settings when you re-installing the game or re-installing Windows 8. As these Windows 8 games and apps differ from traditional desktop programs, it isn't an easy task to back up such data.

 Windows 8 Apps Data Backup is a portable tool. To back up the app data, close all running apps, then just run the tool, and select the apps or games that you want to back up data and click Backup button. Note that this tool only back up the data, not the app itself.
