Once installed and tested ok, does this software require an internet connection to function?

cheers, ray

Thanks for the rerun. I could not register the version offered several days ago, but this time it worked.

One suggestion - after launching the program I do not see any place to verify that is is registered.

This Program works on windows server 2012 ?

AOMEI Backupper Pro 661 works in Win11, though I only tested basic disk backup & recovery. The WinPE version, by default in C:\Program Files (x86)\ AOMEI\ AOMEI Backupper\ 6.6.1\ Winpe64\ , will run in Windows, though it needed to be registered/activated separately, and it did run in a VM with Backupper not installed, so it may work as a portable version -- I say *may* because in the Tools section it says you need to upgrade to get the portable version, so the WinPE version may or may not work consistently with different devices &/or copies of Windows. Backupper adds a service which runs with Windows, & that opens 3 listening online connections with AOMEI servers -- when you run the app you have 3 more connections communicating with AOMEI.

Installing AOMEI Backupper Pro adds the program's folder, a new folder in ProgramData, the following files in C:\Windows\ System32\ : ambakdrv.sys, ammntdrv.sys, amwrtdrv.sys, winsevr.dat, plus C:\SYSTAG.BIN. When I monitored the install in a VM, the registry picked up 218 new entries.

While AOMEI Backupper Pro works, I've only got it installed in a couple of VMs, & have only used it a few times since around 2013 - 2014 when it was on GOTD [there have been updates since then], so I can't fairly say if it's great, or not. Back then I had bought a tablet with 32-bit UEFI BIOS, which AOMEI's bootable USB sticks would not work with, but Macrium Reflect would, so I started using that on all of our devices, and have had no reason to switch everything over to something else.

Just tried again...4th time and it registered at last, but as others are saying, will it still retrieve a back-up after the years license has run out !!!!!

This is the best backup program by far! Thank you! This time it worked....it took me two times to enter the registering code.

I tried downloading this the last time and couldn't get it to register. This time it was not a problem.
Some time ago I purchased a SSD hard drive . the company recommended a third party to move my system to the new SSD. It would not work. I used AOMEI for that process and it worked perfect. I have been using Aomei for years and it has never failed me. The cloning process is exceptional it also has other benefits added which appears to be very useful. Thanks for a great software.

Regarding Registration: repeatedly pressing "Registration" did not work. Needed to close and open the program again to succeed.

PLEASE answer the question everyone else is asking!!!
What happens to my back up after 1 year. Can I still use it? Do I have to purchase a new license to be able to use it?

Absolutely no registration problem this time with the code in the Readme !
Also I can say that AOMEI is very responsive to users in their support page !

Hello Bruce, Helen, anyone from AOMEI
You never answered the following (and several others') question from previous Giveaway on October 4.
Please ANSWER this. A Rerun does not solve the following problem.

I have a previous AOMEI Backupper Pro version 4.0.2 that is LIFETIME.

I would like to install this newer Pro version 6.6.0 BUT only 1-year license, WITHOUT losing the LIFETIME Pro v 4.0.2

Is there any way I can install 6.6.0 in another directory/drive without losing the LIFETIME v4.0.2?

If not, I will pass. A LIFETIME v4.0.2 is more valuable to me and others than a 1-year 6.6.0. \

In the future, please consider allowing a limited 1-yesr version to be installed WITHOUT removing older version.

Thank you

The free version of AOMEI Backupper was the simplest program I found to clone a drive and I certainly will get this Pro version.

The offline generated key is 172 characters long numbers letters upper and lower case. How am I supposed to copy and past this very long string in to a machine that booted up USB/linux Aomei with no internet connection and no way to open another app like a text editor!

I have extracted the exe file. When I try to execute it, by double-clicking, it just does not do anything. I have tried running it as an Administrator. Nothing happens.

rabbit - PRO license is valid 1 year / after 1 year it becomes FREE, the choice will belong to you -
buy / or watch other software

registered and ready, weird how did you fail ???

Purchased this s/w after auditioning a giveaway a couple years back. It's worked well from Win7 thru today's Win10. No complaints. AOMEI software just seems more logical (to me). Their partition manager s/w is my favorite of its kind- also a purchase from past giveaway.

If I buy the upgrade, and move up to Windows11, will the new one work on 11?

I have just purchased this software to replace Acronis which is now a yearly subscription which I do not like. Aomei Backerupper Pro is a lifetime update product which I like so it was worth the 49.95 price for me though I wish I had seen this promo first. It is much easier to navigate although I find the backup times slow but no slower than Acronis. I became increasingly unhappy with Acronis as time went by and did some research to find a suitable replacement. All reviews consistently recommended Aomei.

Where do you find the activation code? I don't see it in the "read me" note.

Really like this BUT....exactly the same question as #6 had:
What happens to my back up after 1 year. Can I still use it? Do I have to purchase a new licence to be able to use it?

I’ve been using this software for several years now. Great tech support, backs up over the network to my server. I’ve had a few catastrophic pc failures and this has recovered my data and sanity. Highly recommend

I would like to get an answer as first asked by rabbit, it's a damn good question I'm suprised nobody answered especially the folks trying to advertise this software including the giveaway folks, after one year is it still possible to retrieve your data???

Same question as last time. What happens to my back up after 1 year. Can I still use it? Do I have to purchase a new licence to be able to use it?

Downloaded no problem entered the licence code and it is showing as ''Licence Code has expired'' Tried it a few times all with the same result. Please advice.

Dear GOTD users,
please try to press the registration button several times if
it doesn't work the first time.
You may also try the offline activation process:

Sorry for the inconvenience!
GOTD team

Tried many times to register this software & still it keeps reporting that the Registration Failed! Your LIcence Code has expired

What do you expect us to do when this software keeps generating this report all the time. It needs sorting!!!

It doesn't look good if someone decides to purchase this software

This is the saecond time you have posted this & the second time I get an error with the suppied Activation Code, so where do I go from here please as it will not register.
