Beware - AOMEI erased my source disk
I am not a happy customer. AOMEI BackUpper just trashed my source disk.
The sequence of events was I chose clone disk and then chose the source and destination disk. The system was running off of the destination disk so I got a message from AOMEI saying it needed to restart the computer to do the backup. After doing some file operations it tried to reboot my computer and I all I got was a cryptic error message.
I rebooted the computer again and saw that AOMEI had wiped out the allocation tables on my source disk. It now shows 1 terabyte of free disk. It is frustrating because I suspect the data is still there but I cannot get to it anymore.
I wonder if there is any way to recover the data? Apparently AOMEI BackUpper cannot keep track of which disk is source and which disk is destination after a reboot.
I miss the days of write rings on mag tapes or sliding tabs on floppies that can prevent stuff like this.

Did you boot from the target disk and then check the source disk is free?
