<h3 style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 10px;">What are the main benefits of AOMEI Centralized Backupper Devices?</h3>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">AOMEI Centralized Backupper Devices is centralized backup management software for Windows workstations: one management console controls the backup Agents installed on the client PCs in your local network. The license covers the console plus the Agent installations for the purchased number of PCs, so no separate per-machine backup product is needed.<br /><br /> <strong>One Dashboard</strong> – Create, schedule and monitor all backup tasks centrally.<br /> <strong>No Desk Visits</strong> – Deploy backup tasks to client PCs over LAN.<br /> <strong>Remote Restore</strong> – Start recovery from the console to reduce downtime.<br /> <strong>Flexible Targets</strong> – Store images on NAS, shares or local disks.<br /> <strong>Status Alerts</strong> – Email notifications and logs report failed backup jobs.<br /> <strong>Storage Control</strong> – Backup cleanup rules remove outdated image versions automatically.</p>

<h3 style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 10px;">What does AOMEI Centralized Backupper Devices do?</h3>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">AOMEI Centralized Backupper Devices lets an administrator run and monitor image and file backups for every licensed Windows PC in the local network from one central console. A lightweight Agent is installed on each client; the console then pushes system, disk, partition or file backup tasks to those machines and writes the images to a NAS, network share or local drive. Schedules with full, incremental and differential runs are configured once per task instead of separately on every computer. In practice, this replaces the routine of walking from desk to desk to check whether each machine's backup actually completed.</p>
<h3 style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 10px;">Who is AOMEI Centralized Backupper Devices best suited for?</h3>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">It is built for IT staff and service providers who maintain a fleet of Windows workstations and need verifiable backups without touching each machine. The concrete problem it solves: standalone backup tools must be configured and checked PC by PC, while here one console deploys tasks over the LAN and reports failures via email notification and logs. An office with a few dozen desktops can keep nightly system images on a NAS and confirm every job's status from a single screen the next morning. If a workstation's disk fails, the administrator restores the image remotely instead of rebuilding Windows and applications manually.</p>
<h3 style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 10px;">What is the difference between the Devices and Server &amp; Devices editions?</h3>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">The Devices edition licenses Windows PC endpoints only, while the Server &amp; Devices edition additionally covers machines running Windows Server. The management console and the backup functions are otherwise the same in both, so the decision depends entirely on which operating systems run on the computers you need to protect. If your network includes even one Windows Server machine, such as a file or domain server, the Devices license will not cover it and you should choose a server-capable edition instead.</p>

<h3 style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 10px;">Which backup types and storage destinations are supported?</h3>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">The software supports system backup of the Windows boot drive, full disk backup, partition backup and file backup or sync, all deployable as scheduled tasks. Partition backup handles NTFS, ReFS, FAT16, FAT32, exFAT, Ext2 and Ext3 file systems, which also covers data partitions that were formatted outside of Windows. Backup images can be written to local drives, network shares and NAS devices, so a single NAS can serve as the common target for the whole office. Full, incremental and differential modes combined with backup cleanup rules keep storage consumption on the target under control.</p>
<h3 style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 10px;">What technical limitations should users know before buying?</h3>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">The Devices license does not cover machines running a Windows Server operating system; protecting those requires the Server or Server &amp; Devices edition of the same product family. Virtual machine backup at hypervisor level is also not part of this product: AOMEI handles VMware ESXi and Hyper-V backup in its separate AOMEI Cyber Backup product. Management works agent-based within the local network, meaning the console deploys and controls tasks on client PCs connected over LAN. Buyers who mainly need to protect virtual infrastructure or server roles should compare those AOMEI products before choosing this edition.</p>
<h3 style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 10px;">Frequently asked questions about AOMEI Centralized Backupper Devices</h3>
<h3 style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 10px;">Does the license include the client Agent installations?</h3>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Yes. According to AOMEI, the price already includes the central management console and the Agent installations used on the client computers, so no additional per-PC backup licenses are needed for the covered machines.</p>
<h3 style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 10px;">Can a failed computer be restored remotely?</h3>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Yes. Recovery is started from the central management console, so an administrator can restore a client PC's system or files from the stored image without configuring the restore locally on that machine. This shortens downtime after disk failures or faulty updates.</p>
<h3 style="margin-top: 30px; margin-bottom: 10px;">Is there a trial version to test the console first?</h3>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Yes, AOMEI offers a free trial download of Centralized Backupper on its official website. Testing it in your own network is a practical way to confirm that the console detects your client PCs and reaches your NAS before purchasing.</p>
