Top notch recovery and backup utility
EASEUS Todo Backup is a backup and restore application that comes for free. The program can be used to backup your system including data, various type of settings, entire disks or partitions. Then in case of a system crash or something similar you can easily restore your computer to its previous state.
The size of the installer i must say that is pretty big. The installation process takes a while and when it's finished you will have to reboot your computer. When eventually you start the program you are welcomed by a very nice looking interface which is extremely well organized.
Thanks to its intuitive interface the application is extremely easy to use. Unlike other similar programs, EASEUS Todo Backup has large buttons. Because of this even a beginner will encounter no issues in using this backup utility.
As you would expect there are available plenty of backup and restore options including scheduling settings and support for incremental updates. The best thing about this feature is that it keeps backups very small and also extremely efficient.
Beside backup and restore there are also various recovery options. The one that really caught my attention was the option to create a WinPE-based recovery disc. Basically this lets you to work with the application outside of the Windows operating system.
A very useful feature that this backup utility has is Disk Cloning. Basically this is very helpful when you migrate your operating system and also data to a new hard drive.
I have to say that this application really impressed me. The only thing that i don't like so much is the fact that a system restore has to be done with a bootable CD. Other than that i can't find nothing wrong with the program.
Because of its powerful features, good looking and user friendly interface, EASEUS Todo Backup is certainly an excellent recovery and backup solution.

-easy to use
-option to create a WinPE-based recovery disc
