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.

The hard disk and partition imaging software take a snapshot of your hard disk so that you can restore your system at a later time to the exact same state the system was when you imaged the disk or partition. This is useful for system recovery in case of a hard disk disaster. The term "image" is used because such software often copy the state of the hard disk sector by sector to your image. Hence if your hard disk was (say) defragmented with certain software occupying certain sectors when you backed up, it will be returned to that same state when you restore your backup. The image utilities often do not allow fine control what you backup - you can specify the partitions or hard disks to back up, but you usually will not be able to specify which folders to exclude or include. They are useful for backing up your system drive or partition, that is, the drive that you placed your operating system on. Hard disk imaging software are sometimes also used to clone a hard disk to another (useful for the times you change or upgrade your hard disk).

On the other hand, the hard disk, folder and files backup software listed here allow a finer control over what you back up. You can selectively backup and restore (say) your documents and email while omitting other files and directories. Some of the utilities allow you to schedule your backups, so that you can be sure that your important data are backed up periodically (for example, daily, weekly, monthly, etc). Depending on the utility, it may or may not support the backup of your system drive (the drive you booted from).
