VERDICT

Should I use Ubackup (AOMEI Backupper)?

AOMEI Backupper: Windows backup, cloning and data protection - ubackup.com

Depends. Buy it for free or cheap Windows disk imaging, cloning, and SSD migrations — r/DataHoarder vouches for speed and quality. Avoid it for enterprise central backup (two 2025 missing-auth CVEs in AOMEI Cyber Backup) or iPhone backup, where app reviews are scathing.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 14 public sources; snippets truncated and 'UBackup' iOS app may not be the same product as AOMEI Backupper desktop.
