    Samsung T5 Backup Software...where are you?

    My complaint about the T5 is the lack of documentation on setting up any backup software. I did install something that enables a security mode, but I couldn't find the backup software. I did some google searches, and now I have a Samsung Auto Backup User Manual but no backup software. I did find a download of AOMEI Backupper, this software works well with the Samsung T5. I can set up and save backup plans and do restores. I will try to find and install the Samsung Auto Backup software, but in the meantime AOMEI works great. In terms of functionality, I am very happy with how fast the Samsung T5 does backups. Much faster than the Passport Ultra. It is also very compact compared to the Passport Ultra. I recommend this product with the caveat of the lack of documentation, and finding and installing backup software. I got past this and you can also.
