EaseUS todo backup opinions
Hi,
I am using todo on a laptop connected to a dock. I have an external HD connected to the dock; Toshiba 500Gb platter drive. I leave it plugged in.
I am backing up certain files from the LT and todo is creating proprietary .pbd backups. For the record, it creates 3 and deletes the oldest so it can create a new one. 133Mb backups. This is done nightly.
I assume that if needed I can use todo to restore a backup but how does that work? I will only need the backup if the LT HD crashes. I want to make sure I'm not putting myself at risk here.
I do back up to another HD once a month or so and that is basically dragging and dropping certain folders on to the HD which is then stored elsewhere.
I know Macrium is a big favorite here.
Honestly...I thought todo was going to take the files I selected and was going to copy them to the external HD, not create a backup file, which is why I did not use Macrium. I have used Macrium and I remember it doing what todo does, which is create one file.
