    I've been testing the ability of various imaging apps to restore an entire drive image of a UEFI Win8.1 system to a new empty HD.

    EaseUS Todo does this successfully using the WinPE recovery disk. All 4 partitions were restored in their correct order. The Linux recovery disk failed (could find the image but couldn't do anything further).

    Did you test the free version or the commercial version?

    Cheers

    the problems i have consistantly had with easeus and even with the latest version is when doing a restore i have seen it mess up the 4k size pretty bad. as well as having to run a chkdsk to correct issues before the system would properly boot. otherwise it does work very well but i dont trust it myself.

    EASEUS Todo backup is weak in speed and compression.

    Funny.

    It's the best backup program I have used so far.

    Yep, I'm the weirdo.:(

    USA still the best. But barely.
    Probably no support for Win8.1 but I'm still using EaseUS Todo Backup Advanced Server 4.5. Must be 6 years old but for me the best Win7 Pro x64.

    I cloned my HDD with EaseUS ToDo to transfer all to a new SSD. It worked well, but I had to run a chkdsk before booting with SSD. Then all was Ok. It was Win7, though.

    Attached are 2 screenshots named SCR 1 & SCR 2

    SCR 1 - "Preserve file security settings in backup" - checked by default...when I create "System Backup" plan & save it, the option is unchecked - is this coz "System Backup" dont need that option And the option is for "File Backup"?

    SCR 2 - "Exclude Files" - unchecked by default...when I create "System Backup" plan, should I keep it disabled or enable it/any entry under it?

    Hi Yash Khan

    I haven't tried any Easeus stuff on Windows 10. It just wasn't reliable enough for me.

    Unfortunately no. I gave it a quick run taking an image. Then tried a restore and it failed. It's been a few months.

    Tried backup/restore with Todo Backup Workstation.

    C Partition 48GB/100GB Full, D Data Partition (Todo Backups saved on D Partition)

    Full Backup - 30 Mins
    Incremental Backup 1 - Under 20 Secs
    Incremental Backup 2 - Under 20 Secs
    Incremental Backup 3 - Under 20 Secs

    Todo Backup Pre-OS Console (WinPE)
    Restored to Incremental Backup 3 - 28 Mins

    Checked system, everything fine.
    chkdsk, sfc /scannow fine.

    Only Google Chrome settings mentioned corrupted, reset settings. Reset settings fine.

    I am trying EaseUS Todo Workstation on Win 10 64 Pro And mentioned my first backup/restore experience in my previous posts.
    I like it, good & easy GUI, options, light, Incremental backup fast & impressive & overall good.

    I thought how EaseUS handles images if its taking backup & system is shutdown, etc...
    So when my scheduled incremental backup kicked in, I restarted the system.
    After system restart, I checked my backup folder And a new incremental was there.
    I checked the new incremental i.e "check image" & EaseUS mentioned image error/bad image.
    I checked image details from the GUI & now the bad image was not there in the image list BUT the bad image was still there in my backup folder.
    I manually started incremental backup & completed fine.

    Now I wonder what would happen if I try to restore to last incremental (previous incremental is bad in the chain & is there in my backup folder But not in image list in the GUI)?

    It might restore, but might not be a good image. Anytime I get failed image, it's bye bye.
