Data Backup Software and Service

Today, EASEUS announced the launch of free backup software EASEUS Todo Backup 1.0 which is especially designed for system state backup and system disaster restore. EASEUS is a well-received brand in the field of data recovery and disk management and their popular products are EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard and EASEUS Partition Master. The release of this free backup software EASEUS Todo Backup 1.0 indicates that EASEUS has entered the data backup and security market.

Most computer users have encountered the bad experience of system crash caused by virus infection, false operation, wrong deletion, or other unexpected accidents. System reinstallation is a choice to get the system up which, however, is also the most time-consuming method. This free backup software EASEUS Todo Backup can help you keep away from the trouble of spending hours on reinstallation, with which you can backup the full functional system to an image and restore it to the previous state in minutes once the system is crashed or needs to be reinstalled.

Besides backup system, the free backup software EASEUS Todo Backup also allows you to backup partition & disk and clone disk. You may use the settings in the “Option” column according to your own needs to compress image file to save space, split image file s to fit different storage devices, exclude page files or temp files and encrypt your image files to prevent illegal access to your backup image, etc.

If you know that corruption happens, hard drives will fail, motherboards will short out, and mistakes will erase data, then backup your data is needed. Backing up your data should be at the top of your computer maintenance list. Without data backup, you are running the risk of losing your data.
Data loss can happen in two ways.

1. Physical failure of the hard drive where the data is stored on. You may have everything saved on your PCs hard drive, but it will not live forever. It might happen gradually; by more and more bad clusters accumulating until most of the drive is unusable, or it might dies without warning. Another possible cause for this is power failure. You may loss of your entire hard drive because a power surge fried your motherboard and destroyed the file allocation table of your hard drive.

2. Virus attacks. There are plenty of nasty computer viruses out there that will delete files on an infected machine. That's why Virus Protection is just as important.

What data should you back up?

Do you want to lose the e-mail addresses from all your friends? That would take a long time to accumulate those again. What about that to-do list you wrote? Or about that nice picture somebody e-mailed you and that you saved? How about that family history you collected over the years and put into a database? Maybe you have a document for work, like a presentation or a spreadsheet that you created at home and don't have a copy on your work PC? Think about that saved game of your favorite game where it took you weeks or months to get to that level. These are just the most common examples, and I know that after thinking about it for a while you will realize that there is a lot of information you don't want to lose. So, backup your data is very important for you.

In terms of information technology, backup means to make copies of data. These additional copies may be used to restore the original if the data loss. We usually called these copies are "backups." Backups are useful primarily for two purposes. One is disaster recovery (restore a state following the disaster). Another is to restore files after they have been deleted or corrupted.

The data storage requirements are considerable, because a backup system contains at least one copy of all data worth saving. It is a complicated task to organize the storage space and manage the procedure of backup. As the development of technology, there are kinds of data storage mediums can help us to make backups and they can be arranged to provide geographic redundancy, data security and portability.

If you want to restore these data, you should select, extract, and manipulate these backups. We can also use many different techniques to optimize the backup procedure. These include optimizations for dealing with open files and live data sources as well as compression, encryption, and de-duplication, among others. It is also important to recognize the limitations and human factors involved in any backup scheme.

People maybe use data backup function built-in Windows, such as create a duplicate copy of the data on your hard disk and then archive the data on another storage device, sometime restore the archived files to your hard disk, you can also make a copy of your computer's system partition, boot partition and the files needed to start up your system in case of computer crashed. According the effect, Windows Backup utility’s features and functions are not comparable with the third party software, EASEUS Disk Copy. You may get more about from here. Recently, EASEUS Partition Manager [shorten as EMP below] has been enhanced its function after inheriting from EASEUS Disk Copy. That means the EPM, as a successful partition tool, will perform better than before.

EPM has its respectively features compared with EASEUS Disk Copy:
Run normally independent from the Operation Systems
Nonsupport for hard RAID
Under Partition Copy, the destination partition must be unallocated
Under Disk Copy, the existing partition must be deleted
The destination partition can be resized and moved
If the destination partition/disk is less than the source partition/disk, the copy action can be taken only if the unused destination space partition is greater than the size of the use of source space
The target sector can not adjust the size if they have equal size between source and destination partition

Further instruction about EMP copy
The destination unallocated partition is greater than the source partition
Partition Copy: support a single copy by NTFS file system less than or equal to the NTFS partition 1TB; also support a single copy by FAT32 file system. The rest is treated as sector copy the partition of FAT32 is more 500 GB or the partition of NTFS above 1 TB.
It will terminate the copy procedure if any partition copy is failed in disk copy. And it will keep the success part and update the partition table before the failure.
The destination disk can't be source disk
The disk copy needs the operation systems run normally, instead partition copy does not.

From above, some advantages in EPM is rather than EASEUS Disk Copy
Support hard RAID
Be achieved if the destination partition/disk is less than the source partition/disk.
Resize and move in the process of copying
Faster than the Disk Copy.

Backup should be essential to those who spend a lot of time on computer or use the computer for storing important personal or business dealings. By backing up, if your computer crashes or has virus infection, you can still get your files back easily on backup disks or other safe places where you choose to back up your data.
Backup software is important for every user, since computers are so unpredictable, you may never know what will happen to your personal files. There are so many backup software choices for users. Here I will recommend several free ones for you.

EASEUS Todo Backup

Are your system, photos, music and financial data protected? EASEUS Todo Backup is potent FREE backup software providing system backup & restore, hard disk or partition backup & restore, disk clone to protect your system and disk. It can back up whole PC, including the operating system plus your data, applications, settings and everything!

Meanwhile, EASEUS Todo Backup is useful if you want to replace the older smaller hard disk by a newer larger hard disk without reinstalling the operating system and applications once again.

EASEUS Disk Copy

EASEUS Disk Copy is free software, which can create an exact (Mirror Image, Disk to Disk) copy of your old disk, including the operating system, applications, personal preferences, custom settings, and all of your vital data. Disk Copy can be used for backup, cloning, or upgrading your original small hard drive to a new larger drive. It will offer you a rapid and simple method to copy all or part of a hard drive to another hard drive.

SyncBack

Easily backup, synchronize, or restore your files to another drive, FTP server, ZIP file, networked drive, or removable media. Highly configurable, SyncBack includes: detailed, easy to read log files; email results; simulated backups and restore; file filters; sub-directory selection; copy verification; background backups; auto-close of programs; easy and expert modes; profile groups; compare files, and an extensive context sensitive help file.

AutoBackup

Autobackup is an excel auto-save replacement, tailored for those who find auto-save inadequate for their needs. Unlike auto-save, auto-backup will never prompt you to save files, or replace your original files without asking. Instead it will automatically save your files to a folder specified by you, at a time interval you define. You will also be able to define how many backup copies you want to keep.

TaskZip

TaskZip is a great little backup tool which runs as a system agent. It will automatically archive specified files and folders into a single ZIP file (although ZIP-64 is not supported so don't try to backup huge folders). TaskZIP also allows you to password protect the ZIP file archives. And although TaskZIP has no restoration features, it stores archives as standard ZIP files. Backing up with TaskZIP is fairly easy if a bit kludgy (hey, it's free!). Just set up one or more "Backup Jobs" and let it run quietly in the background. The program's scheduler can run backups at any time, and you can set recurring schedules for running daily, weekly, or monthly backups.

Comparator

Comparator provides folder mirroring and data synchronization (again similar to Windows briefcase) optimized for use on a single computer (not across a slow network). Comparator has strong data backup and data restoration features but it requires quite a bit of user interaction (which might be a good thing if you have complex backup tasks.)
Comparator uses a two-panel comparison display to allow you to quickly and easily see where changes to files have been made. This allows for quick custom backups in case you do not want to backup all files every time. You won't need to open two Explorer windows to make painstaking comparisons but you'll still have the Windows system menu available to you by right-clicking a file.

Lou Backup

Lou Backup is an extra-ordinarily simple backup tool intended for backing up Visual C source code files -- but also quite useful for backing up any collection of folders. Supporting multiple projects, directory and folder exclusion and backing up of only modified files, Lou Backup can manage multiple "projects" simultaneously which works nicely if you want to manage multiple backups on a single computer.
