Review of AOMEI Backupper Standard – Free Backup Software for Windows

Most users may have suffered at least once from data loss. The loss might resulted from system upgrading, accidently deleting or formatting, and perhaps nothing at all. Instead of preventing unpredictable trouble from happening, it might be more practical to backup your files in case of any possible accidents. Windows has built-in software to do the backup work, which, however, is not as useful or functional as expected, just like other default software. In this case, AOMEI Backupper Standard might be of much greater help, which is capable of backup for system, partition and disk, it is also able to do disk cloning and so on.
