I downloaded the new EaseUS ToDo v3.5 (free version) to use it and compare it to my present Imaging app, Acronis True Image Home 2011. Here are my personal observations on my personal laptop.
Acronis TIH 2011: I am able to create an Image, including validating the Image in about 20 to 25 minutes. This Image lets me choose to include both my Win 7 partition and my Win 8 DP partition. I can create an Image that includes one, two or all three of my partitions very easily. I can restore either of my OSes from this one Image, although they have to be restored one partition at a time. I could just as easily added my D Drive (Data partition) into the Image and added a few minutes to the creation (I don’t have really large data requirements) YMMV.
Acronis is not free, but can be found very reasonably priced. I have never been let down when I need to restore my PC.
EaseUS ToDo v3.5 free: When I choose the System Backup from the main menu, I get no choice on which partitions to Image. The created Image will only include the OS that is presently active. The creation took approx. 15 minutes without validation. I had to validate the Image separately, it is not an option during the creation. This took another approx. 7 minutes. Now remember, this only included one partition, in this case my Win 7 partition. I would have to install the app and run it from within Win 8 DP to create an Image of that partition.
Honestly this seems very clunky to me. In comparing the free versus paid edition I do not see this either.
I do not see any advantage to EaseUS ToDo 3.5 free over Acronis TIH 2011 and in fact have noticed several diaadvantages in my short test. I guess what I have to say is goo-bye EaseUS To Do 3.5 free.
