CMOSSave 3.9

CMOSSave is a utility created by Canadian Mind Products that allows you to backup and restore the contents of your computer's CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) settings.

Backing up CMOS settings is crucial because they contain important information about your computer's hardware configuration. In case of battery failure or accidental CMOS corruption, having a backup ensures you can restore the correct settings without manual reconfiguration.

CMOSSave accesses your computer's CMOS memory directly to save and restore the settings. It provides a command-line interface with various options to facilitate the process.

CMOSSave works on most computers that have a standard PC BIOS or UEFI firmware. However, compatibility may vary depending on the specific hardware and firmware implementation.

Yes, CMOSSave can be used on both laptops and desktops as long as they have a compatible BIOS or UEFI firmware.

Yes, CMOSSave is a free utility provided by Canadian Mind Products. You can download it from their website without any cost.

The backup file size generated by CMOSSave depends on the specific CMOS implementation. In general, it is small and should not pose any limitations.

Before restoring a CMOS backup, it is recommended to ensure that the computer is powered off and unplugged to avoid any potential electrical issues. Additionally, reading the documentation or contacting technical support can provide valuable guidance specific to your hardware.

While CMOSSave primarily focuses on backup and restore functionality, it can also be used as a diagnostic tool. By comparing the saved CMOS settings against the current ones, you can identify potential hardware or configuration issues.
