Where Does AOMEI Backupper Store Images?

AOMEI Backupper default image destinations and task configs on Windows for system, disk, and file backups.

Last updated

AOMEI Backupper saves images per task, not in one fixed folder. Each backup task points at its own destination, often an external drive or a dedicated backup partition. The Home tab lists every destination.

Task definitions live separately in %PROGRAMDATA%\AomeiBR with XML configs. Those files hold schedules, exclusions, and destination mapping. Back up the .adi images with the task folder. Exact image paths vary by task, so confirm in the task list. Verify destination free space before large system images.
