    • Backup: Where you can create new backups, including system, disk, partition, and file backups.
       
    • Restore: Allows you to restore data from your backups.
       
    • Clone: Disk and partition cloning for migration or upgrading to a new hard drive.
       
    • Utilities: Offers additional features such as creating bootable media, checking image integrity, and more.
       
  • The intuitive layout ensures easy navigation for backup creation, restoration, and cloning tasks.

3. Create a System Backup
  • AOMEI Backupper allows you to create a full backup of your operating system, including the system files, installed programs, and settings.
  • To create a system backup:
     
    •  
    • Click on "Backup" in the main menu and select "System Backup".
       
    • AOMEI Backupper will automatically select the system partition. Choose the destination where you want to save the backup (e.g., external drive, network location, or local drive).
       
  • Click "Start Backup" to begin the process. The backup will include everything needed to restore your system in case of failure.

4. Create a Disk Backup
  • To create a full backup of an entire disk, including all partitions and data:
     
    •  
    • Go to the "Backup" tab and select "Disk Backup".
       
    • Select the disk you want to back up and choose the destination for the backup.
       
  • This option is ideal for creating a complete backup of your hard drive or SSD, ensuring that everything, including partitions and the operating system, is saved.
  • Click "Start Backup" to initiate the backup process.

5. Schedule Automated Backups
  • AOMEI Backupper allows you to schedule backups to run automatically at regular intervals.
  • To schedule a backup:
     
    •  
    • During the backup setup process, click "Schedule" at the bottom of the backup configuration window.
       
    • Enable the scheduling option and choose the frequency (e.g., daily, weekly, or monthly).
       
    • Specify the time and date for the backup to run automatically.
       
  • Once set, AOMEI Backupper will perform the backup at the scheduled times, ensuring your data is regularly protected without manual intervention.

6. Create Incremental and Differential Backups
  • Incremental and differential backups are designed to save space by backing up only the changed data.
     
    •  
    • Incremental Backup: Backs up only the data that has changed since the last backup (either full or incremental).
       
    • Differential Backup: Backs up all changes made since the last full backup.
       
  • To create incremental or differential backups:
     
    •  
    • Open your existing backup task from the "Home" screen.
       
    • Right-click the backup and choose "Incremental Backup" or "Differential Backup".
       
  • This reduces storage usage and speeds up the backup process while keeping your data updated.

7. Restore Data from a Backup
  • AOMEI Backupper makes it easy to restore files, partitions, or entire systems from backups.
  • To restore data:
     
    •  
    • Click on "Restore" in the main menu.
       
    • Select the backup image from which you want to restore.
       
    • Choose whether to restore the entire system, disk, partition, or specific files.
       
  • You can restore the data to its original location or specify a new destination. Click "Start Restore" to begin the recovery process.

8. Clone a Disk for System Migration
  • AOMEI Backupper includes a disk cloning feature, which is useful when migrating to a new hard drive or SSD.
  • To clone a disk:
     
    •  
    • Go to the "Clone" tab and select "Disk Clone".
       
    • Choose the source disk (the disk you want to clone) and the destination disk (the new drive you want to copy the data to).
       
  • Click "Start Clone" to initiate the cloning process. Once complete, the new disk will contain an exact replica of your original system.

9. Create Bootable Media for System Recovery
  • AOMEI Backupper allows you to create bootable media, which is crucial for system recovery in case of failure.
  • To create bootable media:
     
    •  
    • Click on "Utilities" and select "Create Bootable Media".
       
    • Choose between USB or CD/DVD as the bootable device.
       
  • This bootable media can be used to start your computer in case of a system crash, allowing you to restore from a backup even if the operating system is not functional.

10. Enable Backup Encryption for Security
  • AOMEI Backupper allows you to encrypt your backups for added security.
  • To enable encryption:
     
    •  
    • During the backup setup, go to the "Backup Options" and select "Enable encryption for backups".
       
    • Set a password to protect the backup.
       
  • Encryption ensures that your backup data remains secure and inaccessible to unauthorized users.

11. Use Backup Scheme for Automatic Backup Management
  • AOMEI Backupper includes a Backup Scheme feature that automatically manages backup files by deleting old backups.
  • To set a backup scheme:
     
    •  
    • During the backup setup, go to "Backup Scheme" and enable it.
       
    • Choose from the available options to specify how many backups to keep or how long to retain backups.
       
  • This feature helps optimize storage by removing outdated backups while keeping the most recent data protected.

12. Verify Backup Integrity
  • AOMEI Backupper includes a backup verification feature to ensure that your backups are valid and error-free.
  • To verify a backup:
     
    •  
    • After creating a backup, go to "Utilities" and select "Check Image".
       
    • Choose the backup image you want to verify.
       
  • AOMEI Backupper will scan the image for any corruption or issues, ensuring that your backup can be restored successfully when needed.
