Prolly most here don't care, but I do. The Glassware traffic monitor program alerts on any 1st network connections made. It shows that AOMEI contacted google's g-a 3 times upon install, then again after my first backup finished. (Glassware thus let's you spot that without using a regular sniffer.)
Their privacy policy doesn't say a word about this: AOMEI Privacy Policy | AOMEI Trust Center At the very least, that's rude.
As usual, these companies brag that they don't store any personally identifying info about you. But google sure does. Yes, I know the company will say that's it's just to let them know how their stuff gets used. Yes, I know that g-a is not the technical def of spyware, but it's still spyware.
(Meanwhile, I also installed Hasleo backup today and they only phone home to their own server.)
