What is AOMEI Backupper?

AOMEI Backupper This is a data backup program for computers running the Windows operating system. It allows ordinary users to systematically store copies of important data without requiring extensive technical knowledge. In real life, data backups are often postponed until the hard drive fails, Windows won't boot, or important files are unexpectedly lost. This program makes data backup easy, allowing for regular backups and ensuring reliable restoration in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

The program's primary function is to back up data at multiple levels, from backing up the entire operating system, entire hard disks or partitions, to backing up specific files and folders. Users can choose the backup file storage destination as convenient, whether it's another hard disk, an external hard drive, a flash drive, or network storage. They can also schedule automatic backups at specified intervals, eliminating the need to remember when it's time to back up data.

In addition to data backup, AOMEI Backupper also offers data cloning and recovery tools. Cloning allows you to migrate the operating system and all data from an old hard drive to a new one or SSD without reinstalling Windows and programs, which is ideal when you need to replace a hard drive or upgrade your computer. Recovery allows you to restore the entire system, specific partitions, or specific files from the backup, and it can also create a bootable flash drive for system recovery in case the computer fails to boot. This type of disk cloning... Macrium Reflect That can be done as well.

What makes this program popular is its user-friendly interface. The steps are clearly organized, from selecting what to back up, choosing a destination, and clicking start. Users can also customize additional details, such as backing up only the changes made since the previous backup to save time and space, compressing backup files to reduce their size, or adding a password to protect the backup files. This program is therefore suitable for both home users who want peace of mind that important files will not be lost along with a single hard drive, and system administrators who need a comprehensive but not overly complex backup tool.

Example of use

Before replacing the old disk with a new SSD, clone the entire disk to the new one and boot from the new one. All your programs and settings will remain the same.

Another frequently used task is scheduling system backups. When the system malfunctions, opening the backup image allows you to restore only the necessary parts or restore the entire system to a working point. Work folders are then always synchronized between the two backup locations, eliminating the need for manual copying each time.

Key features

Data backup

  • System backup. Create a backup image of the entire system, including boot files and installed programs. This allows for a complete restore in case of system problems.
  • Back up the disk. Back up the entire hard drive, including MBR and GPT disks, external USB disks, and other connected storage devices.
  • Back up the partition. Choose to back up only the partitions or volumes you need, including dynamic volumes, without having to back up the entire disk.
  • Back up files and folders. Choosing to back up only the files, photos, or music you need saves time and space compared to backing up the entire device.
  • Reserve according to the schedule. Set up automatic backups to daily, weekly, monthly, or based on events such as logon and shutdown.
  • Additional and different reservation options. Back up only the changes made previously. This takes less time and uses less space.
  • Divide, compress, and encrypt. Divide the backup image into smaller pieces, compress them to reduce their size, and set a password to prevent others from viewing them.
  • Manage backup space. Automatically delete old backup images according to the set plan so that there is always enough space for new backup images.

Data recovery

  • System recovery. Quickly restore the system partition to its bootable state.
  • Recover disk and partitions. Reliably restore hard disks, partitions, or dynamic volumes to their original state.
  • Restore only the selected area. Open the backup image and select to restore only the tasks you need, not the entire set.
  • Check and view the backup image. Check if the backup image is complete and ready to restore, and then mount it as a virtual partition to view its contents.
  • Cross-hardware recovery. It is possible to restore system backup images created from one computer to another with different hardware.

Cloning and migrating systems.

  • Cloning the system. Move your operating system along with all programs and settings to a new disk without reinstalling. Ideal when upgrading to an SSD.
  • Clone disk. It allows direct copying from one hard drive to another, resizes partitions during cloning, and clones from a smaller disk to a larger one or to an SSD.
  • Clone partitions and volumes. Create a copy of a dynamic partition or volume and then move it to another partition correctly.
  • Align the partitions. Adjust the partition sector positions during recovery or cloning to be compatible with SSDs and hard drives.

Sync and additional tools.

  • Sync files. Automatically synchronize files and folders according to a schedule to internal disk, external drive, NAS, network folder, or USB. Options include making the destination identical to the source, syncing instantly when changes occur, and syncing both ways.
  • Create bootable media. Create a bootable WinPE or Linux media CD or USB for system recovery in case the computer won't turn on.
  • Send the system image to multiple devices. Use AOMEI Image Deploy to send the same system image to multiple machines over a network simultaneously without having to install it on each machine individually.
  • Boot via network. Use the PXE Boot Tool to instruct multiple machines on a local network to boot from the same image for system administration.
  • Back up to NAS and the cloud. You can choose a NAS, network folder, or cloud drive desktop app as the destination for backup and sync tasks.
