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.
