Backup software has to meet a few basic standards to be considered good: it has to be easy to use, it has to be quick, and it has to be painless. Backing up your computer is not sexy. It’s not exciting. It doesn’t make you want to drop everything and jump right on that. It doesn’t generate money for you or your computer. Sure, it has to be done, but its among the mundane tasks you have to do.
Fortunately, ease of use and friendliness are two things Easeus Todo Backup software has going for it. The software is wizard driven and created for users who want to backup their machines, but who do not want Microsoft Windows asking them a bunch of questions they don’t know the answer to. Easeus Todo Backup takes away this problem and presents an easy to use interface at the right price: free.
The software is available for Windows 2000 through Windows 7 and includes some nifty features such as creating bootable CDs with Linux or Windows Pre-installation Environment (Windows PE). This is a great improvement over other backup software solutions which force you go into MS-DOS – something few new computer users have had to do in a long time.
The software has large, easy to read buttons and detailed instructions to help anyone who needs to backup their computer system. It backups the entire system and includes a Disk Cloning feature to help you migrate from one computer to another if you’re upgrading.
The biggest complaint from users is the lack of a scheduling feature and some of the instructions are more technical than they need to be. For example, some users didn’t understand the terminology “image” for a cloned computer system. Overall, though, the software was received quite well by our test group of users.
Overall, for a free software tool, Easeus Todo Backup is a fine software backup tool and for novice users, should do quite well.
