QILING Disk Master Pro is being given away on SOS… sharewareonsale[.]com/s/dayu-disk-master-giveaway-sale#details . From the download page: “QILING Disk Master Professional is an all-in-one data protection program for your computer: QILING Disk Master Professional offers a variety of features — including drive/partition/system backup & restore, drive/partition/system copy/move/resize, hard drive health monitoring, virtual disk, secure disk, and RAM disk…
Like many [most?] backup &/or partitioning apps, QILING Disk Master Pro adds drivers & services, so it has at least potentially a bigger impact on Windows then other types of software without that stuff. That said, IMHO the app’s biggest problem is its more than qualified competition. AOMEI Partition Assistant Pro has been given away for years from time to time, and so has built up its reputation, along with a somewhat loyal customer base. The same can be said for AOMEI Backupper, &/or the always free Macrium Reflect Free. Nothing these apps do is all that complicated, so there’s not much room for one to excel over another. So even if QILING Disk Master Pro does a fantastic job, I’m hard pressed to say why you should bother if you’ve got the other apps I just mentioned.
