Backup and Restore Windows 8 Apps Data Locally

One of the advantage of using a Microsoft user account on Windows 8 is that you can sync your apps, data and personal files across the Internet to multiple Windows 8 machines you own. Aside from keeping your apps and data synchronized, it also keeps your data backed up on to the cloud. This is handy even if you don’t have any other Windows 8 PC. In the event of a computer crash or when you need to reinstall Windows, Windows 8 will automatically download your apps and data from your Microsoft account and put it back on your computer. If you wish to keep a local backup of your apps and data, you can use the freeware tool, Windows 8 App Data Backup.
