THESEDAYS,YOUneed two types of backup:
one foryour files and documents, and the
other foryour system. EaseUS Todo Backup
Free attempts to straddle both spheres, and
does so with reasonable success.
The great newsabout EaseUSTodo
BackupFreeisthat it’s actually arebadged
version of Todo BackupHome,whichwas
previously sold as acommercialproduct.
It’scapable of backing up everything from
selected files and file typestoentire
partitionsordrives (there arealso cloning
toolsincludedfor upgrading fromone drive to
another), with scheduling options and support
forincremental updates so backups are kept as
small and efficient as possible.
There are lotsofrecoveryand restore options,
too, such as the abilitytobrowsediskand partition
backups forindividual files and folders, plusan
option forcreating aWinPE-basedrecoverydisc
that allows you to usethe program outside of
Windows,makingitperfectfor drive upgrades or
recovering crashed systems.
It’sall straightforward to use andworks
admirably.Thereare some gripes –althoughit’s
possibletobackupcertain email-based files using
the filetypesoption, we’d prefer amore explicit
email backup option along withselectedprogram
settings and Registry settings.Otherwise,however,
it’s avery good all-in-onepackage.
