AOMEI Backupper is a free IT program for PC developed by AOMEI Tech Co., Ltd. It is a data backup tool, which can help users create virtual backups of their computers, to essentially have a restore point in the event of a system failure or crash they can’t recover from.

Similar in concept to other tools like Macrium Reflect or Iperius Backup, AOMEI Backupper serves as a failsafe mechanism to prevent data loss and unpredictable system disruptions. Aside from this standard free version, it is also available in multiple editions for professional, workstation, or server applications, for different types of users.

Comprehensive backup solution

Before getting started, you will need to register for an AOMEI account. From the main page, you can navigate to the Backup tab and choose a System, Disk, File, or Partition backup. You can also do Email, Outlook, and Cloud backups if you want. It will then create an IMG file, which you can save to your internal storage or an external drive.

For individual files and folders, you can save them to AOMEI cloud storage and access them from any device through the Sync tab. For backup management, you can have AOMEI Backupper perform a scheduled automatic backup, which can be full or partial based on what’s changed. See the Restore tab to manage all your backups and remove the ones you don’t need anymore.

Then there’s the cloning feature that helps you create copies of your entire system onto another machine or drive, handy when migrating to a new PC and foregoes the need to reinstall your OS. Now, bear in mind that this standard edition of AOMEI Backupper is more of a preview of what it can do, since it will require a purchase for further tasks like opening IMG files and restoring backups.

Covering all bases

Overall, AOMEI Backupper is an impressive all-in-one solution to your backup needs, whether it be for your data or your entire system. It’s intuitive to use, can cater to different use cases, and just works well. You essentially have to make a purchase to do any advanced actions, though. Try out the standard edition and see if it’s for you.
