Unfortunately this is the BASIC version of the main program, so it's a pretty decent software but only for the average Joe Home users out there, since it sports all those basic features a backup software should have (incremental, and differential backups, drive-level/system and file-level backups for basic HD only etc...), but nothing more.

Not enough for me to add it on my terrific arsenal...LOL!

If you need more advanced futures, just use the awesome FREEWARE "AOMEI BACKUPPER", which outclasses this GAOTD 10 times out of 10:

KEY FEATURES

- Backup & Restore your Operating System (system files + boot files) and installed applications
- Backup & Restore your entire hard disk drives, with the ability to encrypt and/or compress the created Image Files, in order to reduce the storage space required
- Backup & Restore your single partitions (including dynamic volumes) to an image file
- Supports incremental & differential backups (http://www.backup-utility.com/features/incremental-differential-backup.html)
- Supports Schedule Windows Backup (Daily/Weekly/Monthly)
- Supports ALL storage devices out there (IDE, SATA, SCSI, SSD, USB external disks, Hardware RAID and so on) with a capacity greater than 2TB, as well as MBR and GPT style
- Supports Windows 7/8/XP/Vista and Server 2003/2008/2011/2012 (both 32bit & 64bit)

Compared to others similar products out there (Easeus, Macrium, Paragon etc...), I can say that this program is much faster at performing the HD backup & cloning process, not to mention that it's also able to create smaller backup files in size as final output.

It can also check the data integrity of your image file, so as to make sure your backups can be restored with no hassle, giving you even the ability to mount your backup image files on a virtual partition in order to browse and see their contents in Windows Explorer.

Unlike most (FREE & PAID) tools out there, it also helps you recover files outside Windows making possible to backup & restore your entire system (HD, Partitions, Apps settings, Operation System etc...) even if Windows for some reasons no longer boots up.

In addition to that, this awesome software is able to:

- restore individual files and folders from a backup image file without being forced to recover the entire backup.

- backup Dynamic Volumes on Dynamic Disk (==> http://www.backup-utility.com/features/backup-dynamic-disk-volume-freeware.html)

- perform HD and Partition cloning operations, which can be very handy if your main intent is to upgrade/replace/migrate your old HD to a new one (SSD included) belonging to a dissimilar hardware.

In fact, what you have to do is simply to copy your HD directly to a new one, without creating an image file, with the additional cool ability to resize your partitions even during the cloning process.

I'm afraid that tricks like offering the BASIC version of the main program as GAOTD, in the hope people upgrade to the more advanced one paying big bucks for that, no longer work!!

HARD times for EaseUs developer....LOL!

FYI: The download size of EaseUS Todo Backup Home from GOTD is only 487 KB because you are downloading the DOWNLOADER of EaseUS Todo Backup Home. When you run the downloader, it will download the installer for EaseUS Todo Backup Home which is roughly 115 MB.

Good reliable solution.
Things I've found awkward:
1. On installation, it requires you to specify the backup destination. Well, if you don't have your external 1Tb disk (or whatever) plugged in at the time.. you can't.
2. When doing a restore from the program, requiring a reboot, my laptop overheated during the restoration.

I've consistently found with this product only using the WinPE boot disk works. (Once I was forced to use the Linux disk out in the garage one freezing winter)

3. Differential and Incremental backup is launched from 'Management'. Seems a bit of an odd place to put it. Now, if your external backup disk is NOT allocated the same drive letter as in the backup plan, it won't find it.

Your options are either a technical fix using a small piece of software so that backup drive is always allocated the same drive letter (if available) or yo have to edit the backup plan to match the drive letter.

On these grounds I now prefer Aomei Backupper.

I would not recommend EASEUS, but think you will find AOMEI BACKUPPER perfect. It has a facility to make a WinPE Disk for restore purposes.
