I've always wanted a PC application that would allow me to quickly and easily perform an automatic daily backup; I've tried many over the years, but AOEMI Backupper has surpassed them all! Non-intrusive to the system, very simple to use, and with an infinite number of backup options, from a simple folder to a complete physical copy of the disk.
I used several backup programs, but my favorite is AOMEI Backupper (at least the software that I use for the longest time). I once cloned a hard drive to an SSD and still have it installed. It works great for creating weekly backups of my important files. Many other features are embedded and very suitable for common user like me.
I've tried other backup and restore software, and AOMEI Backupper is the only one that always works. It uses "hot backup," which means it performs the backup while the operating system is running. There is no need to exit and then boot into the backup software, making it simple for the average user. Because this company has been around for a while, the software is mature, they have a comprehensive website with helpful tips, and their customer service is responsive.
There are three common ways to backup entire computer running Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7.
Method 1: Use a Windows built-in backup software (Backup and Restore) to create a system image and backup files.
Method 2: Use WBAdmin command line to backup and restore your OS, disks, partition, files and folders.
Method 3: Use AOMEI Backupper Standard to perform System Backup, Disk Backup, File Backup, Partition Backup freely and easily according to your needs.

Learn moreYes. It is highly recommended to back up your computer and make regular backups to ensure the safety of your important data. The frequency of backups should be based on your individual needs and the criticality of the data you cannot afford to lose.
To be specific, important data like user accounts and passwords, photos, working documents, etc., should be backed up at least once a week or every few days. If you're working on critical projects, consider backing up your data every 24 hours or shorter intervals.
