Backing up your computer data is an extremely important task not only to protect data against unforeseen disasters, but also for users who will be upgrading to Windows 7 from older versions.  Today we look at a new backup solution offered by Easeus that is completely free.

We installed this on a 32-bit version of Windows 7 and there are a few things during installation to point out.  You will get a Windows Security popup asking if you trust the software.

Also, a restart will be required to complete the installation process.

Using Easeus Todo Backup

Here we will take a look at backing up a local drive.  To begin click Backup from the main menu.

The Backup Wizard starts and first you will want to select the disk or partition you want to backup.

Here we are using an external drive as the backup location.

You will probably want to set up the options manually so you can set the priority and compression rate of the backup.

You can also split the image and add encryption as well.

While the backup takes place you can monitor the progress and will be notified once it has completed.

Other Features 

While it will backup and restore drives and partitions there is also a Clone Drive feature so you can transfer a drive over to another.

A very cool feature is the ability to mount backup image files to a virtual drive and lets you control the drive letter.

Check images to to verify they can be restored successfully.

Create bootable CD to restore an image in the event of a hard drive crash.

Overall, Easeus Todo Backup offers a lot of professional backup and imaging options.  Everything is easy to use and in our tests worked just as good as a commercial program like Norton Ghost.  If you are looking for a quality solution for disk imaging and backup, this is definitely worth a download.
