As it didn't 'work' for me I've since removed the Todo backup software from my laptop. Currently I’m using Paragon’s recently released Backup & Recovery free edition (http://www.paragon-software.com/home/db-express/) - as it has the widest range of backup & recovery options at the moment. Amongst the free image backup software, Paragon is the only one that can do differential backups; all others can only do full backups. And, also it is the only one that can create a bootable USB/flash drive. For me it was also important Windows 7 support as I am planning to upgrade soon.

On the Plus side I found that Easus ToDo backup has the option to restore MBR & Track0. On this computer, my main windows XP Pro installation did not boot after installing either XOSL1 or XOSL2 on the first hard drive. Why?=I don't know. On another computer windows XP Pro & Windows 200 get on OK with XOSL2. I think it must be something I have installed on this XP system: It fails at the point the GUI tries to start(when the screen goes light blue.) I found I could get out of this situation by using either MBRtool, which runs on a dos622 floppy to restore MBR & track0, or That Easus ToDo backup has the option to restore MBR & Track0. that saved me from contemplating reinstalling every on this installation of WXP Pro, which would be very very time consuming.

It keeps saying that it fails disc check, and only will do sector by sector. I have changed the areas eq temp, as recommended on the site, but so far cannot make it work as expected. Nice interface. Sure wish that it would work. Maybe in the future it will be ready for primetime. I am unable to use this normally like Acronis, Macrium,or Paragon.

The GUI is a real clone of Acronis True Image (in an old but fully fonctional under XP version 9.0 rebranded Cloneur Expert for the french market). The steps, screens and final files sizes are very close... Cloning from Windows is possible but not restoration (of a secondary partition, of course, the windows one is locked and can only be restored through the Bootable CD. The bootable CD proposed 4 display mode, but the 1024x800 crashed for me. I have to test it longer to check reliabilty in bad situation...exactly when it is supposed to be used and save your (digital) life.

As I said,good program,no doubt about it,but I personally can make images much easier and faster than using Easeus Todo. Anyways,you can't image to a smaller disk/partition,which is a major problem,at least for me (and it will be for others,I'm sure). Also,say you were to image a 40GB disk/partition to a 60GB disk/partition,then we re-size the 60GB disk/partition back to it's real size,60GB,as you quite rightly say we could do,then we have a disaster and want to image the 60GB back to the 40GB disk/partition,what happens then? The answer is you can't use your backup image because Easeus Todo will say the target disk/partition is too small,so that's not much good really. You would have to leave the 60GB partition downsized to 40GB if you wanted the backup image to be usable,at least using Easeus Todo,thus throwing away 20GB of disk space. I'm not trying to knock the program,far from it,it's free and will be very useful to a lot of people,I'm just trying to point out it's shortcomings. Imaging to a smaller disk/partition is a necessity in this sort of program IMHO.

You cannot image to a smaller disk/partition,which is what I frequently do. 2. If you clone a smaller disk/partition to a larger one,the target disk/partition ends up as small as the source disk/partition. I still use a Ghost 2003 boot disc to image my drives/partitions as it doesn't have these issues. I also note in the review that the Bart PE boot disc is mentioned. I have been using the Bart PE disc to image to my external drives using FreeFileSync,works both ways in my testing so far. Just put the portable version of FreeFileSync on your drives (any drive/partition will do) as you can't integrate FreeFileSync into a Bart PE disc I don't think,then when you run Bart PE,use A43 File Manager on Bart PE to navigate to the FreeFileSync exe. and run it,you can then do an incremental backup,works great so far in my testing and very quick because it's incremental. (!Check the drive/partition letters before running a backup please if you use this method,as an external disk will put them out of order!) I realise you need a Bart PE disk with A43 on it to do this,but I'm sure many readers will already have such a disc. In all fairness to Easeus Todo it's a very good program and also free,it's just no good to me really,but no doubt others will make good use of it.
