Scan & Fix 100 registry errors free
CNET Editors' review
Good backup utilities that combine maximum user friendliness with excellent functionality and some helpful extras take the chore out of an essential duty. When all that comes for free, the excuse to blow off backups wears thin. Easeus Todo Backup is just such a free backup and restore utility. Like any good backup tool, it will back up your entire system's current state, data, settings and all, or just what you want it to, including partitions or full disks, and restore your computer in the event of a hard-disk crash or other calamity. Its Disk Cloning feature will help you migrate your operating system and data to a new hard disk when it's time to replace the old one. You can also use it to create bootable CD-ROMs using either Linux or the powerful Windows Pre-installation Environment (PE), which is a big improvement over MS-DOS.
Two things set Todo Backup apart from many other backup utilities (three things, if you count that it's free): its easy-to-use interface and its wizard-based operation. Colorful, large, clearly labeled buttons and icons make it easy for even new computer owners to use, a big plus because they need protection the most yet are usually inexperienced at securing it. The program walks users through its operations and explains each step with detailed instructions, augmented by a good Help file for further assistance.
Todo Backup is freeware and is certified for Windows 7. It downloads as a compressed file but extracts, installs, and opens without fuss.

None. I've used Todo Backup Free on several computers without one problem. I use to use Norton's Ghost and Todo Backup is much more reliable, flexible and faster than Ghost.

"Red Flag -- Phishing Software?"
Version: Easeus Todo Backup Free 4.0.0.2
Pros
I just upgraded from version 2.5 to version 4.0. The install went well after uninstalling 2.5
Cons
When installed, the program assumes the default backup location is on the system disk and creates a "MyBackups" folder on C: (in this case my laptop's hard drive). Since the purpose of a back up is in part to protect from a disk failure, I tried to change the backup location to a shared folder on my network desktop computer (which is backed up online to the cloud).
Although shared foldera are readily available in Windows Explorer without a password, EaseUS requires entering a user and password to the shared drive. While the purpose of this is unclear, it is clear that this could easily be a phishing scheme (or could later become one) that havests user names and passwords. I refuse to enter such data to a program that appears to be Chinese in origin and do not recommend using EaseUS for that reason.
I do not recall such actions on the previous version (in use since June of 2011) but may not recall all details. In any case, the actions of this program are unnerving.Summary
I do not plan to use EaseUs ToDo Backup further and do not recommend it unless this issue is addressed.
I think I like FBackup better for my purposes. EaseUS creates backup storage issues since the backup folder seems to get filled up with a bunch of separate files. For a simple synchronization type of daily backup of new or changed files, FBackup doesn't bog down my server with excessive storage and doesn't seem to need to save passwords to function for backup through my network.
