This software without giving any option installs on C partition. Now what if you want it on another partition?

I had this software for some time & it worked well, but a few months ago it stopped working. I got no help, removed it & use Macrium, but I will give it another try.

Hands down the best system imaging software there is, been using it for many years.

Backupper is a very nice disk image backup app with one rather glaring fault -- the bootable USB sticks you create in Backupper don't work for systems using UEFI & Secure Boot. The GUI is not confusing, and unlike many competing apps, it lets you access all the necessary features you may need -- sadly many backup apps try so hard to make the software idiot proof that you can't do the stuff you need a backup app for in the first place. With Macrium Reflect Free no longer supported [though it still works, for now] I suggest DiskGenius for a free alternative:
diskgenius.com/
diskgenius.com/editions.php
There is a portable version, and both the app & its bootable USB sticks work for me with UEFI & Secure Boot, but they cram so much functionality into the software that to me at least the GUI is a bit confusing. Because of that I bought O&O DiskImage Pro. It does pretty much everything Macrium Reflect does, has decent support, and is often on sale for very good prices -- I paid $25 for 5 PCs. An important Note: Microsoft is hardening the security of Windows boot files -- it's available now but won't be mandatory till later this year. Right now no WinPE USB sticks will boot with the hardening applied -- Microsoft plans to engineer a fix for WinPE before rolling out the update to everyone. It's important that, whatever backup software you use, it has good support, because the devs will have to update their software or it won't work once that security update hits.
Backupper Background [FWIW]...
I tried their bootable USB sticks on multiple PCs/laptops, tried separately running the app on their USB stick & from the folder for WinPE in the program's folder with a generic Microsoft WinPE USB stick, tried including their app in a freshly build WinPE image, tried the bootable ISO [for DVDs] with Rufus to create a bootable USB stick, and nothing worked. I either got an error on booting, or when I got the app to run, it could not find / see any hard disk partitions.

Decent backup program, I am all about speedy backups, since do not like my pc being tied up too long, holding my workflow up.
Tried Aomei Backup a few years ago, but always been a bit too slow for me, recently tried this version trial again on my win10, 16gb Ram pc,system back up, newest Aomei was a little faster, still took approx 2.5 Hrs longer than similiar backups like Acronis, but Easeus Back was & still just much faster backups for me personally. Cheers.

Restoring backups became very difficult with the new UEFI method. No more easy method even with the old Aomei. Thanks Microsoft for more headaches. Slightly easier with Win11. Aomei Pro has taken my headaches away. I usually do not like paying for software but this one is worth it considering less stress and good reliability. Aomei has not failed me yet.

"Restoring backups became very difficult with the new UEFI method."
Not really -- Backupper's USB sticks sadly just don't work with UEFi & Secure Boot. Same goes for EaseUS in my testing. Macrium Reflect, Paragon, O&O, & DiskGenius work just fine.

mike, I turned off secure boot. I backup and rstore from an external hard drive and it works well.

@ Adam Howell:
1. The system partition of the computer must of course be backed up with this program beforehand with this software, so that you can start something with a bootable medium.
2. This program can be used to create bootable media not only on a disc, but also on a USB stick.
However, this software offers nothing special. If, for example, you only want to restore a folder or just a few files from a backup from a partition, as with Acronis, you can search for a long time. There is no such thing here. And the options for naming and labeling the backups also leave something to be desired.

With all of the disk/partition image backup apps I've tried, the backup archive is a clone of the partition or disk that's stored in a file that's a type of virtual disk. To access individual files/folders you just mount that virtual disk and copy whatever you want.
"The system partition of the computer must of course be backed up with this program beforehand with this software, so that you can start something with a bootable medium."
Not sure what you mean by that -- Sorry. When you create a backup you've cloned whatever partition(s). To restore a backup you reverse the process, cloning the backup archive, usually to a physical drive. You cannot restore a partition that is active [running], because the files that are running would no longer exist, having been overwritten. So you can plug the target drive into another system, or run another OS off another drive. You can install the backup app on a Windows to Go drive, or the backup software normally lets you create a bootable ISO or USB stick running a mini version of Windows [WinPE] or Linux, and you can boot to one of those and run a version of the backup software to restore the archive to the target drive.

Otto, Try Synchredible. The free edition is best as Pro only removes a nag scree.

Thanks for the annual update.

I tried this here years ago and it worked better than all the expensive ones. I was able to restore to a different machine with different hard drive. I purchase the pro for my thee machines. Nothing like it any where. God bless AOMEI!

I have the latest version, and I really like it. The interface is straightforward and easy to follow, step by step. It has a small monitoring program that is always active. I set it for nighttime, and it will shut off the computer after it finishes. If you set it for an incremental backup and run an extra one during the daytime, the program will monitor the speed of backing up, when the computer is active, and slow down the backing-up process. Then it will go faster when you step away from the keyboard for any length of time.

.... "CD-RW/DVD-RW Drive for Bootable Media Creation" ... they are becoming rare, PCs, laptops who have a CD-RW/DVD-RW drive, let alone PCs/ Laptops are sold that have an optical drive. This PC has no optical drive!

Adam Howell, use a USB flash drive instead.

Adam Howell, The last laptop I bought with a CD drive was a Dell, 12 years ago.

Adam Howell, I bought an external CD/DVD drive for backup use and for viewing my older backups from before the days of cheap USB drives.
Save | Cancel
.... use a USB Flash Drive Instead ..... to do what to do? To make a backup of a PC that will no longer start? The last thing the previous PC did after starting was: "no signal". It was too late to make a backup! The internal SSD (250MB) removed, because I could still use it.

Adam Howell,. ... SSD (250MB) Removed ...., now it is 250 MB SSD in this Windows 11 PC and is used for additional storage. Another thing, I heard that Windows 11 can also make backups ...

Adam Howell, if pc still starts and then gives no signal, you probally had
selected a screen resolution that your screen couldnt handle.
pc doesnt start at all, probally powersupply.

"CD-RW/DVD-RW Drive for Bootable Media Creation" ... they are becoming rare"
Cases are still available with slots for optical drives, adapters to connect optical drives via USB start around $15 - $20 on Amazon [& they work], and while more expensive nowadays, there are several brands of laptop optical drives in thin external housings that use USB. One possible advantage of booting to optical media is that with many motherboards they'll automatically switch to legacy booting, skipping UEFI. Otherwise ISOs are handy if you want to use something like Rufus or Ventoy to add one or more bootable ISOs to a single USB stick or drive.
"I heard that Windows 11 can also make backups "
Win11 [& Win10] includes Windows Backup from Win7. It works, doing *basically* the same thing as Backupper, with fewer features. Creating a bootable USB stick *that works* with UEFI & Secure Boot however can be challenging.

uninstall, Adam Howell, if PC still starts and then does not give a signal, you would probably have selected a screen resolution that your screen cannot handle. PC does not start at all, probably food.
That wasn't the problem! That PC had a 128 GB PCIE M.2 SSD and has experienced an electricity failure twice. That type of SSD cannot stand that. The storage capacity then deteriorates. At the latter, the storage capacity was only 70% and then "no signal". I still have the AMD Ryzen 5 2400G CPU/GPU and the two memory slats. That PC itself, scrap.
