A fraction of the size, because it uses the .NET runtime on your computer instead of carrying its own.

Needs the .NET 10 Desktop Runtime (x64) if your PC does not already have it. Install the runtime first, then Budgie Backup.

Get the .NET 10 Desktop Runtime (from Microsoft)
Note: Only works at 100% Dispay/Text scaling at the moment. May contain bugs that delete data.
