Verified UserGreat tool for easy backups
Verified reviewer
- Simple interface and definitely one of the best free backup tools I've used
- The ability to do incremental, differential or complete backups is great
While the interface is straightforward, the terms can be confusing if you aren't familiar with types of back-ups

It worked for some time
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.
- 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
- 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

Ease Todo was giving me some issues with the way they offer their subscriptions. You really never know the pricing as it depends on what page you go to signup and if you wait for a bit a new offer pops up. I tried this yesterday and eventually had three different prices shown over a short time. I believe I had an issue that stopped me from upgrading again after 4 years of use. I tried again after removing Aomei Backuuper Pro and went thru the same issues.

BSoDupper!
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.
- I successfully recovered from an existing image created by AOMEI
- 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

Wanted something more configurable
Why they chose it
"It offered a free (less configurable) version."

My favourite tool for disk imaging!
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.
- 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,
- 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

Norton Ghost felt dated and often failed without reason.
Why they chose it
"Much easier to use in a workshop environment where live bootable CD's are used."

easy to install and use back up software for SMB's
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.
- 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
- 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

Scary - Loss of Data - Service is no help
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.
- Easy setup and low cost - but you get what you pay for in this case
- They lost my data
- Backups were corrupted without the possibility to recover, and without any warning until I went to restore from a backup

Stay Away from AOMEI
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!
- Software appeared to provide automated folder sync and bootable system backup
- Good reviews were read prior to purchase
- 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
Why they chose it
"Top rated in reviews, which must have been the result of self-reviews submitted by the publisher."

The best backup and disk management software on the market
Higher Education
- A reliable and easy-to-use backup and recovery software that can be used to create and restore backups of your files, system, and partitions
- Offers a range of advanced features and tools for managing and customizing backups, including support for incremental and differential backups, scheduling, and encryption
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

Very Polished and Easy To Use
I was looking for a backup software that I could locally backup projects on my computer and it has not disappointed.
- It is very, very easy to use for basic backups
- Two clicks, choose files to back up and where to backup to and one more click and you are all set
- Restoring is just as easy
- Also, their user manual (that comes in a
- PDF file) is awesome
- It covers everything that you will ever need to know about it
- I can honestly say that there is not anything that I do not like about it
- It does exactly what I need it to do - every time

Backup for companies and individuals
A good experience, and I think that it is a very suitable product for users because it has fewer errors in backup operations and has an easy interface.
Uncomplicated work interface and ease of use in scheduling backup times Divide it into several versions, including for Servers, personal use, and others to avoid complications
Its high cost compared to its backup features There is no plan to copy files without converting them to the program format, and this is what makes it difficult to integrate the backup process among other products
Switched From
Yes, due to the cost of the product that operates in the Servers environment
Why they chose it
"I conducted an experiment on it in a test environment before deciding the most appropriate program, and it worked with good efficiency, but it did not fit with our work environment."
