TodoNotes.txt 08/22/14 Notes on EaseUS Todo Backup --------------------------- ** Updated 08/21 for Version 7.0 ** Download Free Version: click the large 'Download' button enter your email address, click 'Download now' The program 'tb_free.exe' is downloaded. Click on it to install Todo backup. First Full Backup: Select 'Disk/Partition Backup'. ('System Backup' backs up Windows only.) Read the detailed instructions in the on-line help. Check partition list and available space (in Destination) Designate a folder name ('Todo Backup') for destination. Click Proceed calculating... "Backup is running, please wait patiently." (!!) backing up C: ... Time required will vary. Example from my laptop w/USB2: Drive C: 23 GB, Drive D: 35 GB, Total 58 GB Image size 47.6 GB, elapsed time 71 minutes. 58GB/71min = 0.8 GB/min, using USB 2. Incremental Image (daily) Management tab, select the entry for the full backup date Click 'Backup', select 'Incremental backup' click 'Proceed' Same as full, except a LOT shorter. (0.5 GB, 1:16 min) 6 incrementals ranged from 1:10 to 6:01 minutes. Folders on external disk: G:\Todo Backup\ Disk and Partition Backup 8-3 2014 10-13 AM\ Drive folders (e.g., C:\ and D:\ in my case) Recovery: Files/folders: just use File Explorer! Disk/Partition: run Todo, select Recover ** Help: (it's very hard to find in the new Version 7.0). There's a tiny box with a dot in it just to the left of the minimize button at top right of the window. Click on it, then choose 'online help' from the menu. There is very detailed help for both Backup and Recovery. Dan Covill - SCG
