Again, do you have the Pro version?

Do you have the Pro version? Look here for directions on schemes: https://www.backup-utility.com/help/backup.html

Try using q-dir. Most people say that will work if Explorer doesn't. http://q-dir.com/

Not sure I can help. You seem to know what you want to do and how to do it. You should be ok.

If you make a SYSTEM image, Aomei will only restore those partitions necessary to make the disk boot. In this case it would be the EFI, MSR and C partitions. You do not need the Recovery partition and a lot of people try to delete it. Can't do that …
-
If you don't want to partition it keep your data, etc on another drive. Otherwise, no you can't just backup the OS and not the data on the same partition.
-
If you aren't using old system, just put existing OS SSD in new system. On reboot, windows usually hashes it out enough to get to your desktop so you can load new chipset drivers, etc. I say usually but going from Intel to AMD may cause a pro…

You would put Aomei on the old PC, make an image to the external drive. Create a bootable USB drive and boot from it on the new PC and restore the image to the new PC.
Now, with all that being said, you can't copy programs that way to a new PC.… -
Yes, PA has the option to create a bootable USB drive. Works great for resizing partitions.
Sorry I have Pro so I wasn't aware of free restrictions. I would copy without resizing then just resize the partitions you want with PA. No need to resi… -
When you boot from that USB, it will load Aomei Backupper. You cannot have the backup image on that USB. It has to be on some other media. Once Backupper is loaded, you can remove the bootable USB.
-
You shouldn't need Partition Assistant, but it is there for you if after the restore you need to adjust the partitions for some reason. It is my experience that Aomei Partition Assistant is more reliable than Backupper. Let me clarify that statemen…

Install the new drive in place of the failed one. Boot into the "emergency stick". From there you can restore your image and you should be set to go. in Restore System without a Clon ?? Comment by Flyer July 2019

Brand of disk does not matter. You can clone or use your backup to restore to the new drive. Either should work. Just make sure the new drive is formatted GPT and not MBR. If it is a new drive, this won't matter. You really want the unused part of t…

Failed how? Corruption, electrical, mechanical??? Are you doing backups? This is the one single most important reason to do them. Drive failure. I guess all that is moot now. My guess is unless it's a corruption problem in the boot sector your choic…
-
You'll have to have the forum admin answer that or write to support for the answer as to why that's happening. Again, I wouldn't use your active drive to do test restores to. Any backup and restore program can glitch (apparently like this one wants …
-
First of all, I don't think it's a good idea to do a test restore to your active system disk as any failure could render your PC inop. (You could do a file or folder restore as that wouldn't affect the operating system.)
I think what you tried … -
What are you trying to restore this to? A blank unused SSD? A used SSD? Ideally it should be a blank disk and it appears your original disk is formatted GPT (that's all those extra little partitions which would have been imaged if you did a System I…
-
Glad it worked for you.
-
Ok. I might be jumping the gun here, but I'm going to guess your old disk was formatted MBR and the new disk (where did you get it and how did you install it?) is GPT. This is a common problem, if this is your problem??? If the new disk is GPT, whet…
-
Seems the target disk was formatted GPT and the source disk was MBR. Is that the case? You can check in disk management by selecting the disk and right clicking on it and then look at it's properties. Let's start by doing that and then we can go fro…
-
Try just booting into the BIOS and instead of changing boot order, just go to boot function (usually F8 for most) and see if a list of bootable devices come up and select the USB pen from that list.
-
Your best bet now might be to email support. This sounds more like a registration problem.
-
The free version of Aomei should still be able to perform the restore disk function. At what point do you encounter the problem with a restore?
-
Contact Mercedes. They should know if you can and how.
-
Please contact Dell or use their forum.
-
Wrong forum for this. Sorry
-
He means both are MBR or GPT, not one of each. You need to format the target disk to match the source. If you don't know how to do it, read this in HDD -> SSD advice Comment by Flyer June 2019

Not sure what you've tried, but you want to mount your backup image and then explore to find the file/folder you want, copy it and paste to the location you desire. in Restore single folder from full system backup Comment by Flyer June 2019

Have any of the current posters checked to see if the program is still creating VSS errors whenever a backup runs? You have to look in the windows event viewer to see this. Usually 4 errors are created. When this happens, VSS is disabled for any oth…
