Overview

AOMEI Backupper Standard is a free, reliable backup solution designed to protect Windows systems from data loss, system crashes, and hardware failures. By offering both essential and advanced backup features, it helps users secure their operating system, files, and disks with minimal effort.

The software is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, and supports both 32-bit and 64-bit systems, making it suitable for older and modern PCs alike.


Comprehensive Backup Protection

AOMEI Backupper Standard provides multiple backup modes, allowing users to choose exactly what they want to protect:

System Backup

With just one click, the software can back up the entire system drive, including:

  • Windows operating system

  • Installed applications

  • System configurations and settings

The backup process runs in the background without interrupting ongoing work.

Files and Folders Backup

Users can selectively back up important files and folders such as documents, photos, videos, emails, and program data. The software also supports backing up files between network locations or NAS devices, offering flexibility for shared environments.

Disk Backup

AOMEI Backupper supports full disk backup for:

  • Basic and dynamic disks

  • MBR and GPT disks

  • External hard drives and USB storage devices

This feature ensures complete protection for all storage devices recognized by Windows.

Partition Backup

Instead of backing up an entire disk, users can choose to back up specific partitions or dynamic volumes only. These backups are stored as compressed image files to save disk space.


Advanced Backup Technologies

Reliable Backups with Microsoft VSS

AOMEI Backupper uses Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to perform backups without interrupting running applications. This means files remain usable during the backup process, ensuring consistency and reliability.

Flexible Backup Scheduling

The software supports scheduled, incremental, and differential backups, allowing users to automate protection and reduce storage usage over time.

Network and NAS Support

Backups can be stored on:

  • NAS devices

  • Network shared folders

  • External storage

It also supports restoring or backing up data from one network location to another.


Recovery, Cloning, and Boot Options

AOMEI Backupper Standard includes powerful recovery and maintenance tools such as:

  • System, disk, and partition restore

  • Disk and partition cloning

  • UEFI-based system backup and recovery

  • SSD alignment optimization during restore or clone

  • Windows PE and Linux bootable media creation

  • Manual driver injection for Windows PE environments

Additionally, the PXE Boot Tool allows administrators to boot multiple computers over a LAN using a centralized boot image—ideal for system maintenance and recovery tasks.


Extra Management and Convenience Features

  • Email notifications for backup tasks

  • Backup log management

  • Edit task names and image storage paths

  • Export and import backup tasks

  • Backup dynamic disk volumes

  • GPT disk support
