FastBack was a software application developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s for backing up IBM PC and Macintosh computers. It was originally written by TouchStone Software Corporation and later by Fifth Generation Systems Inc.

In 1987, FastBack Plus 1.0 for DOS was released. This version, or subsequent DOS versions, was released with an unconditional guarantee against harm resulting from use of the software in the terms and conditions. The guarantee contrasted itself with industry norms.

In February 1992 the company released Fastback Plus 1.0 for Windows, written for PCs running Windows 3.0.

FastBack II [1] was bundled with Drive 2.4 to provide read/write compatibility with most Macintosh 3.5" floppy disk formats.
