AOMEI Backupper can help you access recovery options even without a pre-made bootable media. You can use its features to boot into a system image or perform recovery tasks directly during startup, bypassing the need for a bootable drive if it supports such functionality. Check the software documentation for specific steps on overriding the boot process or accessing recovery modes.
You might divide a portion of your external HDD (just a tiny bit) and turn it into a bootable USB using AOMEI’s built-in utility. The remaining HDD can then be used for backups. This approach lets you recover your system if the PC fails to boot normally, restoring everything from the external drive.
