Performance

Backupper Standard’s performance was the yin and yang in our roundup.

It was the fastest backing up disks and partitions, but easily the slowest backing up sets of files. On the other hand, CPU usage was light, and speed isn’t of much consequence for a task running in the background.

Aomei Backupper Standard has a heavy footprint, spawning three background processes: the core, shadow copy, and a scheduler. We often wonder why companies ignore a perfectly good scheduling app

(Windows’ own) that’s already running in the background. To be fair, Acronis True Image spawns six background processes.

Backupper help is only available online and there are no tool tips. On the other hand, if you know backup, you probably won’t need them.
