AOMEI Data Backuper is a free backup and restore software that is easy to use for most PC Users.
AOMEI Data Backuper is absolutely free of charge
and the installation process does not pose any trouble. The procedure
takes little time to complete and does not involve pushing onto the
system software you don’t actually need.
The interface looks nice and it is very intuitive. Simplicity and ease
of use are at the core of the application, so only essentials menus are
available, making it impossible to go astray when carrying out a task.
Besides backing up data and restoring it, the application can also
clone entire partitions and disks as well as mount/unmounts backup
images. Additionally, it provides the possibility to verify the
integrity of a stored image as well as create bootable media (CD/DVD or
USB), very useful especially when trying to restore an operating system
you can no longer boot into.
The backup management is done from the “Home” tab and this is also the
place to run the first task. All backup jobs available are displayed as
tiles, offering the possibility to restore them to initiate a new full
backup or an incremental/differential one.
The advanced options for each entry allow you to delete the respective
backup image completely, check its integrity, mount it in order to
explore its content or provide details about it, such as comments,
storage location as well as the time of its initial creation and the
last update. The application can also show its target location on a disk
map.
Filtering options allow you to bring to view only the backup jobs
created in the past week or month, as well as during a particular time
frame. This feature would come in handy if you create backup jobs on a
frequent basis, which is more likely to be done to files and folders
rather than entire disks and partitions.
The “Backup” menu provides three possibilities: create a backup image
for an entire disk, a partition or the system drive. In all three cases,
the procedure is pretty much the same and wizard-driven: select the
target, define the storage location and start the job.
But this is not to say that you cannot customize the backup job. AOMEI
Data Backuper provides the possibility to add a description for each
image, define a compression level or protect the resulting file with a
password.
Splitting the backup copy into predefined chinks is also on the list,
but a more interesting option is the possibility to enable Intelligent
Sector feature. This instructs the program to backup only those sectors
of the drive that are actually used, the procedure leading to a smaller
size of the output image and lower times to complete the job.
On the other hand, sector-by-sector backup makes an exact copy of the
drive, complete with free space. This is also useful, particularly if
you want to recover data from the respective drive at a later time, an
operation that requires all the sectors to remain intact.
AOMEI Data Backuper can create backup copies for the active operating
system, without interrupting your work. This is possible thanks to the
VSS (Volume Snapshot Service), or Shadow Copy, technology available in
Windows. However, you can enable this for any backup you make, lest some
files are locked or in use.
Restoring the system drive requires restarting the computer and booting
into a specially created AOMEI live session, which features the main
functions of the program. The boot entry is created automatically the
moment you attempt to restore the OS partition and all you have to do is
pick it from the boot menu.
All backup images can be mounted as a virtual drive and explored. Also,
since they are read-only, the information contained can be extracted to
a location of your liking.
The bootable media creator included in the application allows you to
make rescue media device to be used if you’re unable to boot into the
system. It can be stored on a CD/DVD or a USB drive.
