Excellent Free Imaging Software

This is an excellent product. Being that it is free, it's even better!

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.

Aomei backUPPER

It's simple and ease to use and it has the features needed for a backup for windows

PROS

The free version includes a lot of features ideal for most cummon users. For businesses or for an user that needs more options or features, it’s competitively priced. It is designed well and is very easy to use, particularly for novice users.

CONS

I see the need for some type of encryption options. Overall minor points

Reasons for switching to Aomei Backupper

Minitool is just overpowered for the needs that I have

Promising tool but can be deceptive

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.

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.

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

AOMEI Backupper for NAS backup

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!

Endpoint Devices images

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

Cheap and good back-up solution

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.

The only down side for this software is its pricing. It can be slightly cheaper.

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.

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.

Reasons for switching to Aomei Backupper

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Buona gestione dei backup, in tutte le possibili varianti.

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.

ottimo programma per sincronizzare i file in tempo reale. Problema backup a sincronizzazione attiva

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

Reasons for switching to Aomei Backupper

Perchè Windows non offre una sincronizzazione in tempo reale dei file e non so perchè.

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!

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.

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.

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.
