If you opt to make the backup in another folder or drive other than default, keep this in mind as this will be asked during the recovery process.Ī few things to note about the system backup in EaseUS Todo Backup, the space required for a single backup depends on the condition of each Operating System with all programs and data at that moment when the image was created. Wait until the process is completed and a new file is created inside the folder of choice. Click Proceed to start the ‘system image’ backup process.by default, the program will point to the path which is already defined when first installing EaseUS Todo Backup free 4.0. Select backup location to be used as destination.From Home screen below Backup, select System backup.In the case of restoring from a critical system failure, this is truly beneficial in a way that it saves us from having to reinstall all programs and settings manually as when we are forced to reinstall Windows. Notice that this backup not only holds some data or specific partitions, it will create backup of everything related to the Operating System including all programs and settings. Now after we have the bootable disk, it’s time to make a ‘system image’ backup of the present Operating System. Wait for a while till the creation process is finished. Other kinds of writable DVDs are also acceptable. Next the creation process begins, as the space required is not much, 1 regular writable CD is enough. This time, we’ll just choose CD/DVD then click Proceed. We have the option to create bootable disk on USB, CD/DVD, or export ISO. The program will load all drives available as the destination. From the Home screen below Tools, select Create bootable disk. The Home screen looks like this.įirst we’ll create a bootable disk that can be used to start EaseUS Todo Backup during the PC boot process before entering Windows.

OK, let’s start with opening the main interface. In general, this program provides features like creating partition/file backup, recovery of specific files, disk/partition cloning etc, but for the moment we will just focus on the system recovery aspect.

To my surprise, this is a simple yet effective program to secure our computer’s system and data so that when faced by critical system failures in which even accessing the Operating System is not possible, there’s still a reliable restore method available. Then, I came across this product : EaseUS Todo Backup free 4.0. I’ve personally experienced this several times and started to look for a better answer, a more reliable one that guarantees successful system restoration. Have you experienced a PC system failure or crash that’s so severe it cannot be healed just by normal recovery routes like Windows system restore or startup repair ? For one reason or another, doing system restore to a certain point only results in the message “Restoration incomplete, your computer cannot be restored to….”.
