This version adds support for backing up selected files and folders. After choosing the drive to back up, you're able to set a good range of options (compression level, encryption, splitting, email notifications, VSS support and so on), and can then save any data to your destination of choice in just a click or two. To get started you might click the 'Backup' tab, for instance, then 'Disk Backup'. The program's straightforward interface will be immediately familiar if you've ever used another backup tool. On the other hand, CPU usage was light, and speed isn’t of much consequence for a task running in the background.AOMEI Backupper Standard (formerly known as AOMEI Data Backuper) is a simple tool for backing up files, partitions, hard drives or your system. It was the fastest backing up disks and partitions, but easily the slowest backing up sets of files. Performanceīackupper Standard’s performance was the yin and yang in our roundup. But that’s speaking from an IT perspective.Īomei provides both Linux and Windows PE boot images, which can be burned to CD or installed on USB drives. The system cloning offered in the $40 paid version ($50 if you opt for lifetime free upgrades) could be very useful, as could the network boot function. The pay version adds imaging of dynamic volumes, and merging images-tasks few end users will ever need to perform.

Syncing isn’t true back up-it’s keeping a mirror of your important data in another location-a great hedge against losing recent work.īackupper Standard will image entire drives or partitions, verify them, and mount them so you can grab a few files from one. There are a plethora of scheduling options as well as syncing, including the aforementioned real-time synchronization. Despite being free, there’s little missing from Backupper Standard’s feature set, which includes: imaging, file backup, disk cloning, and plain file syncing.
