AOMEI Backupper Standard is the free edition of AOMEI Technology's backup suite for Windows. It covers the core backup scenarios most home users need: full system image backup, file and folder backup, disk or partition cloning, and scheduled backup jobs, plus the ability to create bootable recovery media. Paid editions such as Professional, Workstation and Server add features like extra backup scheduling variety, universal restore and command-line support aimed at more advanced or business use.
AOMEI Backupper vs. Windows' Built-In Backup Tools
Windows includes File History and a legacy "Backup and Restore (Windows 7)" tool, but both are limited: File History only covers certain folders, and the legacy imaging tool has been effectively frozen for years. AOMEI Backupper Standard adds a more modern interface, disk cloning for migrating to a new SSD, and flexible scheduling (daily, weekly or monthly) that Windows' native tools don't offer in one place.
AOMEI Backupper Standard Features
- System Backup — images the OS partition and boot-related partitions for full system recovery
- File Backup — backs up selected files and folders on a schedule
- Disk/Partition Clone — copies an entire drive to a new disk, useful for HDD-to-SSD upgrades
- Scheduled Backup — runs backups automatically on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule
- Bootable Media Creator — makes rescue USB/CD media to restore a system that won't boot
- Incremental & Differential Backup — saves only changed data after the first full backup
- Backup Compression & Encryption — reduces backup size and can password-protect backup images
