Easeus todo for images?
I thought I'd start a separate thread. I am having issues completing an image backup using Windows 7 built in software. It always used to work well and have used it restore from but lately it seems to claim my USB hard drive disconnected right near the end causing the backup to fail. Aggravating as the 650 gb image can take a few hours. It may be a problem with the USB drive itself (despite not actually disconnecting as I can always still see it connected). So will try another one but am thinking I need a third party solution. A couple of you kindly recommended macrium but I got put off slightly because you need to create a winPE for booting at times of recovery and its s huge download etc.
I just want to image the entire drive from time to time in a really simple way. I know a lot the data is static but if it takes a few hours it's not a problem. That's why I liked Windows own image software for its simplicity. And as long as you've got the windows media disc then you can boot to the recovery environment. So the third party solution I just want an easy ability to create the recovery DVD to burn without a colossal download or complications. When Windows image finished it gives option of a start up recovery disc which burns in no time at all. I'm looking for something very similar. I did find easeus todo on the net. Is this any good as a freebie? Simplicity is key for me, not fussed about bells and whistles or incrementals etc. Just want to be able to do a basic entire disc image from within Windows with ease to restore
Cheers,
