Back Up

finally...

from WinCustomize Forums

After a couple of months saving up I finally got a 1TB Seagate backup for my laptop. Right now I'm doing a full system backup, a little over two hours to complete. It wasn't expensive, 74.00(USD), but its a lot on a fixed income. Fortunately all my bills are current, up to date, no arrears. I make sure all of that happens before anything else. So now no more worries. I'm using EaseUS ToDo for the backup. To me that's one big relief.

I use the free version of EaseUS ToDo and it's very easy.  Now I can not atest to how well the software performs as I have not had to do a recovery of my hard drive from the back up, but I have the backup in case the situation ever presents itself.   :sun:

I am using the paid home version.  I have also had to use restore once or twice, and it work perfectly.

Thank you for the info. I worry about limitations on most free stuff. I have everything I would need backed up. But not the entire system. Thinking about a total reformat. would load my stuff on and then do a backup.

I use Easeus To Do Workstation. It's an older version, but still does what I need!

 

Doc hooked me up back when he had some kind of deal with Easeus and they gave him some giveaways to pass out.

 

Thanks Doc! Works great!

A full system backup, file backup and a disk/partition backup. All my programs are on a flash drive. Now they have have a backup too. I have the free version. Had the workstation awhile back from the same deal but lost it. No matter now that I don't have to worry about it.

The problem I have with every backup software I've tried, including Easus, is that none will scan their catalogs to help you find a backup set containing a particular file.  If I notice a file is missing I have to check each backup set until I find the one before the file was deleted.  I wrote minicomputer backup software 30 years ago that could find the set or sets containing a file.
