Had I anticipated such a loss I would have been storing my my most valuable data securely off-site. I had backed up into a 500GB Iomega external HD, 2 days ago the software that came with the the Iomega CD: Retrospect 7.5 failed, had about 300GB's of irreplaceable data and memories locked up inside that drive. My home looks like some NASA lab! Newer hardware replaces aging systems but original pictures & documents once gonzo are priceless losses. initial & appellate comp & pen cases for our returning wounded warriors as a volunteer VSO. Adobe ElementsPhotoshop CS5 cyber kit to working V.A. Got a lot (tens of thousands in new and dated cyber-gear), from running my own home audio-visual studio with plenty of older progs like Roxio. I have nothing but praise for the program EaseUS To Do Backup Free. There are two things I wish they would include in the next version - run a missed scheduled backup & validate backup images automatically after creation - I might be wrong that it might already perform validation.Īll in all, it's a great backup package that does everything a user needs. It can also mount an image as a regular drive. It can also create a bootable CD USB image to be used during emergency situation. It also has a few extras: disk cloning and data wiping.

BUT it provides all the necessary tools to perform backup effectively. It's not the full fledged monstrous product.

To save the space used, it can also compress the backup images - 4 levels - none, normal, medium & high. You may also schedule it once at specified time later.

It also includes a scheduler to allow the program to run at specified date & time, multiple daily and weekly schedules. It will also preserve a copy of your older backup for you up to the specified period (days, weeks, months & years) or the last X backups. Incremental backup is backup that's different since last backup while differential is the difference since last FULL backup. I started using backup software from Power Quest Drive Image to Norton Ghost to Acronis True Image up to 2012.ĮaseUS Todo Backup FREE is totally free software that backup your OS, data, drives, partitions & disks.
