[Music] hey you and welcome I'm Mr. Berry part of the SelmaTeacher7 Channel and this whole
video we will be looking at Naomi backuper software showing you how to use it and some
of my favorite features of that program now this backup software is available for Windows and it
comes in a few different versions including a free one that is geared towards home users that
are looking for a simple yet effective backup solution and the link to the download is in the
video description below so I encourage you to give it a try if you're currently looking for a backup
software solution to keep your data safe now there's lots of competition for backup software
on Windows machines these days but aomi is one of the most popular ones so let's give it a try and
see how well it actually works we'll be testing off two different features today first off we're
going to be doing a folder backup onto a network attached storage device and then we'll be showing
how to clone a system drive onto a new SSD we'll be doing the cloning on a Windows 11 computer
now this software does work on older Windows 7 machines as well all right then let's get on with
the review simply hit download install it from the video description you'll be presented with
a screen to purchase or try the pro version or click skip to install the free version once it's
done go ahead and run it so my first impressions of the software is generally good the color theme
is easy to look at and the user interface is easy to navigate the main features are clearly labeled
on the side as you would expect the Home tab gives shortcuts to backups and your sync jobs the other
features are backup sync restore clone and tools clicking on them expands the available options so
first I'm going to show how to set up a schedule folder backup that will be saved to one of my
network drives for this task I'm going to click on backup and it reveals the options for that tab
if you're a content creator like me then I'm sure that you understand how important it is
to keep backups of all of your important work in case you mess up a project or you accidentally
delete something also setting up an automatic schedule backup makes everything worry free so
to do this first go to backup and then click on file backup next click on add folder add
an Explorer window will now open allowing you to explore and find the correct folder
that you want to back up I'll be selecting my night Cafe AI generated art media folder
click open next select the destination folder by clicking here then you'll be given a choice
of a local path a network attached storage device or a Cloud Drive in my case I'll be
saving it to a Samba shared drive so I'll need to enter in the IP address of that device after
locating or keying in the address that you want now click on the blue button to continue
now click OK and let's look at the options and notice we have some options here if you wanted
to go and do the encryption that would require the pro version do you do that and what we're going to
do is go down here and use compression but since I have a fast system I'm not going to change the
compression or any of these settings here but just it's nice to know that you do have that option
click on OK now I'm going to click on schedule backup and
turn that on there and we can do a daily backup if we need to and notice here it
actually has the date and the time there and then I can do it once a day there at
and we can change that to so let's go to about once uh at midnight let me click on OK
and then we can click on start backup
this might take a while it depends on the speed of your network and the size of the folder
now that the backup is done I'm going to test it to see if I can properly restore
I've deleted the files on my local drive so now I'll be restoring them from the network
drive I used as the backup destination this is quite easy to do first click restore and then
select the task that you want if you've made different backups they will all appear here
click next and you'll be given an opportunity to explore the backup if you had selected a
scheduled backup then you can select a specific date that you wish to restore from the Explorer
allows you to select certain folders and files from the backup as well but in this case I wish
to restore the entire folder now you will be given the option to restore the folders to
the destination of your choice I will select its original location and now start it now that it's
done let's see if it's backed up all of the data I'll check the size of the folder to verify and
it looks perfect it's 492 megabytes which is the correct size you can also go to tools and click
explore image if you have the pro version to just view the files without starting a restore
now let's try out the cloning and imaging feature on a Windows laptop I will be cloning
from the laptop's built in 256 gig storage and the destination will be the 256 gig SSD that I
installed to back up to First click clone from the main menu you will be presented with a few options
system clone and disc clone are basically the same thing but the system clone automatically
selects the current boot disk as the source so it's slightly easier I'll be selecting disk clone
because this is included in the free version now select the source Drive which in my case
is seen as disk one but yours may be different and then select the destination drive be careful
to select the correct destination drive because if you select the wrong one it will be erased
now on this screen notice the setting on the bottom called SSD alignment You'll wish to
select this if you're cloning to an SSD if your target is larger than the source Drive you'll
want to also go to edit partitions and select add unused space to all partitions unfortunately that
feature is only available in the pro version so if you are using the free version then your clone
Drive will be the same size as your Source Drive unless you go through the extra steps
of manually resizing it I think this is a feature that should have been included in the free version
but anyway let's continue and finish the cloning process if you see this message go ahead and press
yes it will take a while to complete but when it does go ahead and restart the computer and
enter the BIOS normally you can enter the BIOS by pressing the delete key on some machines and the
F1 key on others once you are in the Bios find the boot options in boot order and change the first
boot option you should see two hard drives or storage devices so select the one that corresponds
to your new Drive the menus and options may look slightly different depending on your motherboard's
brand but they should be similar enough for you to figure it out now save and restart your system
when your system boots up it should be running from the new drive so hey there you go now
overall I did find aomi backup software to be efficient and easy to use so I do recommend
it for home and small business users hey if you like these types of videos please click on that
