AOMEI Backupper - Reliable data backup and restore solution for Windows

AOMEI Backupper is a professional, easy-to-use backup and recovery software designed to protect your data from loss. Available for free for both home and business users, this powerful tool securely backs up PCs and servers. With a single click, it creates a full backup of your system partition or entire disk within minutes, keeping your data safe and accessible.

This AOMEI software can explore previously created disk images and restore data to a hard drive when files become lost or corrupted. It supports creating a bootable rescue disk to recover data during system crashes when Windows cannot load or when application access is unavailable.

AOMEI Backupper offers advanced cloning features that enable you to efficiently and safely duplicate a partition or an entire disk. It supports Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), enabling seamless backups without interrupting active applications. This efficiency allows the program to back up data while you continue working, keeping your workflow uninterrupted.

AOMEI Backupper Features:

System Backup. Perform a one-click backup of all data on your system drive, including system files and installed applications, without interrupting system operation.
Disk Backup. Back up your hard drives, including MBR and GPT disks, external drives, USB drives, and other Windows-based storage devices.
Partition and Volume Backup. If you need to back up a partition or volume rather than the entire disk, back up one or more partitions or volumes (including dynamic volumes) to an image file.

When your computer encounters issues such as accidentally deleted files, a system that won’t start, or virus damage, using a previously created backup allows you to restore the system to its normal state and retrieve any lost data.

System Recovery. Easily and quickly restore the system partition and ensure the system is bootable after completing the recovery process.
Disk and Partition Recovery. Reliably recover the whole hard disk drive, partition, or dynamic volume to its original state.
Selective file restore. Restore specific files and folders from a backup image without recovering the entire backup.

In addition to its powerful backup and restore capabilities, AOMEI Backupper also supports convenient cloning operations. This feature proves invaluable for tasks such as upgrading a hard drive, replacing an old disk, or migrating data to a new drive, making your workflow more efficient and seamless.

Disk Clone: Directly copy one hard drive to another without creating an image file. The software allows you to resize partitions during this cloning process. It supports cloning small disks to larger ones and copying traditional hard drives to solid-state drives.
Partition and Volume Clone: Directly generate an exact copy of a partition or dynamic volume and transfer it precisely to another partition or volume.

AOMEI Backupper Other Features:

Incremental and differential backups. Based on a full backup, the software supports the creation of incremental or differential backups to take less time and save storage space.
Encryption and Compression. Set a password for each backup to prevent unauthorized access. Select an industry-leading compression algorithm to minimize image file size and conserve disk space during the backup process.
Image file checker and explorer. Check the data integrity of the image file to ensure successful backup restoration. Mount image files to a virtual partition so you can browse the contents of the backups in Windows Explorer.
Comment Backups and Splitting Backups. Add comments to backups to identify and clarify the backups further. Let you know what a backup is for or what it contains. Splitting Backups can split a backup image file into proper sizes to fit storage media.
Create Bootable Rescue Media. You can create bootable media, such as a CD or USB drive, to restore your system drive when Windows is unable to boot.

AOMEI Backupper – Pros & Cons

Pros	Cons
✓ Supports system, disk, partition, and volume backups for comprehensive Windows data protection.	✗ Some premium backup, recovery, and cloning capabilities are reserved for the paid Professional edition rather than the free version.
✓ Provides system recovery, selective file restoration, and disk or partition recovery from existing backup images.	✗ The Professional edition uses a yearly license for one PC, which may be less suitable for users managing several personal computers.
✓ Includes disk and partition cloning with partition resizing, making it practical for drive upgrades and migrations.	✗ Server and multi-PC environments require separate editions such as Server, Technician, or Technician Plus, increasing licensing complexity for larger deployments.
✓ Offers incremental and differential backups, compression, encryption, image checking, and backup-image exploration to improve backup management.	✗ Backup images can require substantial storage space, even though compression and incremental or differential backups are available to reduce storage usage.
✓ Can create bootable rescue media and supports a broad range of storage devices, including internal and external drives, SSDs, USB drives, NAS, and RAID arrays.	✗ Bootable rescue media must be created in advance to provide an offline recovery option when Windows cannot start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can AOMEI Backupper clone a drive and make it bootable?

Yes, a system drive can be cloned to another drive, but the target must be configured correctly for booting. After cloning, you may need to connect the new drive internally and select it as the first boot device in the BIOS or UEFI, especially when replacing the original system drive.

Can AOMEI Backupper back up directly to Google Drive or OneDrive?

It cannot directly save backup data to the online storage space of services such as Google Drive or OneDrive. However, it can use the local cloud-synced folder created by a desktop cloud-storage application as a backup destination.

Does AOMEI Backupper support dynamic disks?

Support depends on the type of dynamic disk and the operation being performed. The software has limitations with GPT dynamic volumes, while some MBR dynamic-volume backup and system or partition operations are supported; restoring a dynamic-volume backup may also require the original location or a basic disk.

What is the difference between AOMEI Backupper and EaseUS Todo Backup?

Both are Windows backup and cloning solutions with features such as backup scheduling, compression, encryption, incremental backups, and disk cloning. Current software comparisons show that EaseUS Todo Backup generally receives higher user ratings, while the better choice depends on the specific backup, recovery, cloning, and licensing features you need.

What’s New in AOMEI Backupper 8.4.0:

Release Date 2026-06-18

Optimized: The task execution details page now displays “Transfer Speed” and “Estimated Time Remaining” in real-time, providing clear, at-a-glance visibility into your progress.
Optimized: When the window of the backup source and destination selection pop-up is enlarged, the list column widths will automatically adjust the spacing according to the text length.
Fixed issue: An extra full backup may be executed when both a backup schedule and a backup scheme are configured simultaneously for a task.
Fixed issue: The interface may freeze when creating a new backup task if the default destination path is inaccessible.
