![]() ![]() If the unlimited default option slows down our network, we can set a maximum speed, up to 1000MB/s. The network transfer speed makes sense only if we are using a network drive or a NAS to write the Windows backup image. For unattended backups, a High priority will allow the backup to conclude faster. Just make sure you remember the password, because if you don't, it's impossible to recover the backup, it's as good as lost.įinally, the Performance option allows us to set the priority of the backup process. If we are using the PC while creating the backup, we should set the priority to Low so that EaseUS won't use as much of the system's resources. Without the password, restoring the particular image will be impossible. The Encryption option allows us to password-protect the Windows backup image. We can also select if we want the Windows backup image split into multiple files, in case we want to write it on several CDs or DVDs. However, the backup process will take longer and use more of the system's resources, since data compression requires quite a bit of CPU power. The larger the compression, the smaller the backup image file will be. On the "Backup options" section, we can select the compression for the Windows backup. We can also create an "Image reserve strategy", to select how many of the previous backup images will be preserved, to avoid overwhelming the disk capacity. This way we can always have a recent Windows backup since an outdated backup is hardly better than no backup at all. The following options are available for every type of backup with EaseUS Todo Backup, not just the disk or partition backup.ĮaseUS Todo Backup allows us to create a scheduled backup scheme, to create a backup every day, week, or month. If left unchecked, EaseUS Todo Backup will produce a warning to select it or cancel the backup. If we dual boot Windows and Linux, we are required to select the sector by sector backup, since Windows doesn't recognize the Linux filesystem and files. However, by checking the sector by sector backup option, the backup image will be much larger, equal to the full capacity of the disk or the partition. This option will include the boot sector, and preserve any deleted files, so we can recover them after we restore the backup. The size of the backup image depends on how much data is written to the disk or partition, not its full capacity.ĮaseUS Todo Backup also allows us to create a sector by sector backup. With this option, even after a complete hard drive failure, we can restore the backup on a new hard drive, and have the system up and running in just a few minutes. We just need to check the appropriate checkbox. The first option is to create a full backup of a disk or a partition. ![]() We now have access to the full functionality of the free version. We just need to visit the program settings from the icon next to the shopping card.Īfter the installation is complete and we start the application, we click on "Later" on the "Activate EaseUS Todo Backup" window. Of course, we can change the default Windows backup folder later from inside the application. Fat32 formatted drives can only support files up to 4GB large, and any Windows backup is bound to be much bigger than that. It's best to select an external hard drive or a large capacity USB thumb drive, formatted as NTFS or exFAT. When the hard drive fails - because failure is a matter of time on both HDD and SSD drives - the backup would also perish. The default option is at the C:\My Backups folder. Having our backup on the same disk drive, however, doesn't make any sense, security-wise. ![]() The only part where we must pay attention is when the installer will ask for the default folder to create the Windows backups. The first screen of the installation process will remind us that we can buy the Home and Workstation versions, but we can skip it with Next. The installation is entirely safe it won't try to install toolbars or adware. EaseUS Todo Backup Free doesn't have any trial restrictions. Don't worry for the mentions about a free trial. ![]()
