Pros This software is super reliable and can recover a hard disk that has crashed. This is my go to product for protecting my Windows boxes. Cons The free product has limitations, but it's totally okay for simple imaging. For my needs, since I also use a cloud backup solution, these limitations work for me. Review Source MH Mark H. Personal Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Happy with the backup process" July 10, 2021 4.0 Been a good experience. Pros The backup runs on its own daily and have never had an issue. Cons The backup set is not readable in file explorer, which is annoying. Review Source BC Brian C. Webmaster Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Big Disappointment. No Support. Functions Don't Work." February 13, 2024 3.0 Just awful. the help text misses key functions and operations. The touted startup option in Windows won't EVER get past the selection screen despite having the ability to set the time out option right there on the screen. WILL NOT WORK. Pros American Express is going to get my money back. Cons Nothing works properly and the support is non-existent.

Its easy to use and its highly efficient. I would always recommend this software to others. Pros I like how easy it is to use this piece of software. This software has a very thing learning curve because of its user interface. It looks great and performs multiple tasks equally as well. Cons The only down side for this software is its pricing. It can be slightly cheaper. Review Source Aris G. Web Developer Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "AOMEI Backupper for NAS backup" January 12, 2021 5.0 Secure - encrypted backups to NAS storage for remote accessible locked-backups. Bootable CD for continuous system operations after system crashes. Pros We heavily used AOMEI Backupper to sync our 2 ERP's in our NAS storage. The backup encryption tool provided for the backups is essential especially for ERP software that includes databases with sensitive data such as customer and financial data. The Bootable CD saved our main computer that runs the ERP 2 times from system crashes and restored successfully the operating system. Cons Image Deploy Tool that deploys image via LAN to multiple computers is not available to all plans making it a little pricey for our job. But other than that if offers great and reliable services!

ICT Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Endpoint Devices images" May 24, 2019 4.0 Setting up computers for the first time has been made easy as we no longer gave to install application by application. Time is saved Pros You can create a standard image say for an organization especially in the cases where new computers will be constantly coming in. This standard image can be used to install the new computers. Computer back-up is easy and gives you options to choose files you want to back-up or the whole computer with it's image Cons After creating the image the size of the new computer hard drive has to be the same as the one on the old computer Review Source Edo M. field agent/representative Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cheap and good back-up solution" January 30, 2018 5.0 This is relatively simple and good solution for back-up of data. Back-up IS ALWAYS needed. So this software should be take in consideration when You chose a back-up solution. Pros Prices are fantastic; user interface is slightly old school; working options are visible; step-by-step procedure; back-up scheduler. Cons There are not so much of options in settings; design could be made more "modern"; there is no full screen option. Review Source Ponde O. Monitoring And Evaluation Officer Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Cheap yet valuable back-up software" May 21, 2018 4.0 Cheap yet valuable back-up software Pros A this is a wonderful data back-up product, which is so so easy to use and with an affordable price Cons I find some of the sections a little confusing especially of first time users. probably they could be made mire clear. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer President Online Media Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The perfect tool to clone a hard drive" August 31, 2019 5.0 Worked exactly as it should have, no problems and made my life easier. Pros I got a new solid state drive for my laptop, and I wanted to clone my existing one onto the new drive and after looking around for a solution that worked I came across AOMEI Backupper. It was really easy to use, had a great layout and it worked just as it should of. It is easy to use to back up any data on your computer, and I really liked it. Cons Could probably do with a few more options for the power users out there, and the design of it could look a bit better.

Offers a range of advanced features and tools for managing and customizing backups, including support for incremental and differential backups, scheduling, and encryption. Cons Nothing in particular, ti is a value for money software since it is far more reliable form other free softwares and when it comes to data backup and recovery, relaibility is a top priority. Review Source CD Claudio D. Consulente informatico Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Buona gestione dei backup, in tutte le possibili varianti." November 28, 2022 5.0 Pros L'interfaccia del software è semplice da usare, non richiede molte risorse del sistema, facile pianificare i backup periodici.Spendendo poco di più si ha anche 1Tb a disposizione nel cloud.Ha anche la crittografia con password.Ottimo il backup delle partizioni sia come velocità che come dimensioni dell'immagine.Ottimo anche per clonare interi dischi o singole partizioni. Cons La versione gratuita non permette di crearsi la chiavetta autoavviante per il ripristino.Il formato delle immagini è un formato proprietario, quindi può essere rispristinato solo con lo stesso software.L'interfaccia è semplice da usare, ma non è ridimensionabile a tutto schermo.

Artist Arts and Crafts Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use backup tool" October 29, 2019 5.0 It is a useful backupper for every backup needs, for system and file backups. Pros In the age of blackmail viruses it is especially important to backup our files regularly. For me AOMEI Backupper Professional is an easy to use tool to make the backup to clone system and easily restore any data if required. It offers backup to one partition, file backup, disk backup, file sync. or system backup. I can migrate the whole system with system clone feature easily to an SSD without the need of reinstalling the system. It supports full, differential and incremental backup, so I can choose a time saving method for the backup. If I want to synchronise my data to the cloud it is also possible. Cons I use it in Hungary, and it doesn't have a Hungarian language support. It is not a problem for me, but maybe a problem for others. Review Source RW Richard W. IT Mgr Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy, fast, reliable and secure backup and imaging" December 27, 2017 5.0 Fast, secure and easy to use backup and imaging tool. Pros We love this software for imaging computers. It is very easy to use, very fast at backing up and restoring the computers. It allows for password protection and encryption of the image files, which is a must for us. Cons I wish it had some other features like disk management features in it or a password reset tool so we don't need multiple tools but otherwise it is great. Review Source CS Cody S. IT Architect Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "This tool is very handy and has helped me back and restore several desktops" March 20, 2018 4.0 Pros I like that they have an easy way to create image backup ups and restore them via live ISO USB sticks. Cons I don't like that the scheduling task doesn't seem to work all the time. If you miss a scheduled task it doesn't seem to run until the next scheduled task instead of the next possible time. Review Source SK Stu K. Computer Tech Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Backup, Clone, and Restore" January 15, 2019 5.0 I have never had a problem in the ten years I have used their software. The Restore ability to recover a poorly functioning operating system has always worked. The company is generous to offer help when I needed it if I had questions about an upgrade or how to interpret their software instructions. Pros It's ability to backup flawlessly, to check whether the backup was successful, and do it quickly. Cons While the customer service is well-intentioned, it is sometimes difficult to understand their response---possibly because of a different language. Review Source dG dhruv G. Sales Executive Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "One of the most reliable and easy to use backup software" April 20, 2017 5.0 Aomei Backupper stands out as on of the most reliable backup programs in the market. It supports full system image backups as well as file backups. The user interface is well designed and even the least tech savvy person will be able to use the software without any problem. Pros One of the easiest to use interface Scheduling ability is good Standard edition to take care of the most basic requirements relating to backup Cons There should be a feature to pause backups. Review Source FP Fred P. Owner Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It worked for some time" February 20, 2021 4.0 Until recently I was very happy. I had been running their latest addition for about a month. I installed System Mechanic Ultimate Defense about 10 days ago and now having nothing but issues with Aomei Backupper Pro. Recently it has been responsible for freezing programs, slowing down programs and even clipping video and audio on Zoom. All this seems to be due to the fact that it doesn't agree with System Mechanic as the timing of the introduction of System Mechanic seems to match the issues I have received. I have tried removing and reinstalling. However, it has a mind of its own and won't allow me to shut it down or remove it as it continues to run in the background. Pros Easy to set up and use. It has a number of features allowing various types of backups. Files can be manually backed up or synced, on a schedule or not. Cons It's a relatively simple format so there was nothing really to dislike. If I had to complain it would not allow canceling easily and would stay working when I wanted to shut it down for some reason.

Problema backup a sincronizzazione attiva" December 5, 2022 4.0 Ottimo programma con un bug enorme nel backup di sistema. Tuttavia l'ho preso in sostituzione della Cronologia file di windows non convincente a mio avviso (dopo un po' ti si mangia un HD con file duplicati infiniti). L'assistenza risponde, ma è lontana e solo in inglese non ci si capisce bene fino in fondo. Pros L'avrei preso solo per la sincronizzazione dei file in tempo reale. L'immagine disco la fa windows ed è sufficiente così. Ho cercato un software proprio con queste caratteristiche. Cons Il fatto che a sincronizzazione in tempo reale attiva è impossibile e seguire pianificazione di backup di qualsiasi tipo. Ad un certo momento si blocca. Dalla assistenza dicono che il problema è noto ma mai risolto Review Source OM Oscar M. Analista IT Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Es Impresindible" August 22, 2023 4.0 Pros Me encanta que me permite realizar una copia total o parcial de el disco de cualquier dispositivo de computo interno a uno externo es muy util cuando se realiza el cambio de HDD a SSD sin perder la informacion. Cons Puede que se presenten fallos en la virtualizacion si no se realiza correctamente. Review Source NG Neal G. DevOPs Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "BSoDupper!" January 31, 2020 2.0 To their SUPPORT: 1> I purchased AOMEI last week but thus far it has not been a pleasant experience. Is it possible to revoke my license and refund my money? ==> reinstalled special version they compiled and made available on Google Drive. 2> I'm no longer getting the BSOD but the backups are failing with 4140 error codes both scheduled and manual ==> removed all directories and let AOMIE Backuper create re-create them. 3>Hello, I did as you requested. I also reduced the frequency of the scheduled backup to once per week on Sundays. This morning, my system was in BSoD but this time it was in an endless recovery -> failed reboot. I had to do a fresh install of Windows install AOMEI and restore from a good backup from Thursday. Thankfully it restored successfully. I’m happy about that. However, ultimately I cannot ignore that AOMEI was the reason for the BSoD and the need to restore from a backup. I’m officially throwing in the towel on AOMEI backuper. I have not had a good experience with your software and would appreciate a refund of my $49.95. It doesn’t need to happen immediately, but I did see that you offered some resolution for refunds and I would like to pursue that path. I have already uninstalled AOMEI backuper, you may of course deactivate my activate key on my refund request. 4>I've already been through that. I'm no longer interested in your product. I have moved on and purchased Acronis True Image. Pros I successfully recovered from an existing image created by AOMEI Cons Plagued with issues: - scheduler doesn't work - as a service causes BSoD (Blue Screen of Death) - I really don't like the naming convention of the backups. "System Backup.xxx" "System Backup (1).xxx" .. etc - ultimately the software killed my system but did manage to recover from an existing backup. Reason for choosing Aomei Backupper It offered a free (less configurable) version. Review Source JH Josh H. Senior Support Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My favourite tool for disk imaging!" December 14, 2022 4.0 Very quick (depending on hardware) and almost perfect. Just needs a couple of user interface tweaks to improve automatic partitioning and it would be helpful if it could detect MBR/GPT on the source disk more reliably. Pros Very easy to use via a bootable CD or USB image. The user interface is very friendly and helps guide new users through the process of cloning hard-disks, Cons The automatic partitioning feature can sometimes over-provision recovery partitions for Windows, meaning they no longer work inside the operating system when "resetting". This can be worked around by manually creating the partition sizes inside Aomei Backupper. Reason for choosing Aomei Backupper Much easier to use in a workshop environment where live bootable CD's are used. Review Source LL Lawrence L. Engineer Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Scary - Loss of Data - Service is no help" December 26, 2019 1.0 AOMEI Backupper's only job is to not lose your data... and it did. The worse part was contacting AOMEI Service and get an answer that amounted to "Yes, that can happen, and no we won't even look into it." When I complained that this could happen to anyone at any time, and that people were depending on this product to keep their data safe they stuck with the attitude of "Sorry for your luck." They didn't even open a software development ticket to look into the issue. Pros Easy setup and low cost - but you get what you pay for in this case Cons They lost my data. Backups were corrupted without the possibility to recover, and without any warning until I went to restore from a backup.

Reason for choosing Aomei Backupper Cost & Ease of Use (not that Ease US is hard to use) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Acquisitions Leader Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "easy to install and use back up software for SMB's" March 31, 2019 4.0 Very positive experience as it is a simple to install and get started tool - got off to a very fast start and the interface to use the tool is very neat and simple. Does a good job of back up and restoration - we use both free and paid versions. Pros We used this in one of the smaller acquisition that we made to get started with the practice of back up and restoration of windows/linux PC's, servers. We were able to copy images on USB and install them quite easily. In addition, the back up was also fast and efficient. We also tried restoring from a backup as part of disaster recovery and were able to do this quickly as well. Cons There is a free and paid edition of the back up tool - I wish the free edition also allows multiple backup's at the same time. Scheduling a back up is one of the features that is very much desired. In addition, it would be good to also have the ability to have more 'how to' on getting started. Review Source GK Glen K. Computer Technical Services Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Stay Away from AOMEI" May 29, 2023 1.0 Very slow to copy files to destination folder. When files were pre-copied to folder to be sync'd with the program deleted a large number of files on the originating folder, leading to great distress to the client and myself. Stay the hell away from AOMEI! Pros Software appeared to provide automated folder sync and bootable system backup. Good reviews were read prior to purchase. Cons It has destroyed an important client's data files. So-called support and help files on publisher's web site are written in half-literate English. Reason for choosing Aomei Backupper Top rated in reviews, which must have been the result of self-reviews submitted by the publisher. Review Source MC Marcel C. Operation director Computer Networking Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Promising tool but can be deceptive" March 28, 2024 3.0 AOMEI support responded to my issue by stating that I should create a boot media. Yes, this is the obvious work-around, but I did not get any reply when I asked to escaladate that issue so it does get fixed. So, I think that a tool that let you beleive you are safe but fails when you are in trouble is not something I would advise. Pros Simple to install, automated imaging of your system drives which can be used to revert to in case of total crash. Cons The tool will just pile on the images, you must remove old images yourself otherwise it will just stop working. At least it does show a popup telling you to do so. What I consider a real issue is you must create a boot media, the new boot menu that gets installed does nothing, you are not able to boot into the tool from there.
