Review: Easeus Todo Backup

Review: Easeus Todo Backup: "

Is it possible that a free backup solution is good enough for home and small business use? Most free backup solutions are good for backing up files and folders, but many lack the power to actually restore a system from a major catastrophe. Easeus Todo Backup attempts to break that mold by offering both file and folder backup as well as partition and disk backup so you can restore from either file loss or major disaster.


Specifications



  • Supported Operating Systems: Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, Server 2000/2003/2008

  • Cost: Free

  • Additional information


Who’s it for?


Easus Todo Backup is for anyone needing a versatile backup solution. Easus Todo Backup is perfect for anyone needing a solid backup solution without having to have nearly the knowledge you would need for a solution such as Acronis. Anyone from the average user to a seasoned administrator can benefit from this wizard-based backup solution.


What problem does it solve?


From single directory backups all the way to drive imaging, Easeus Todo Backup can handle just about any backup need you can throw at it. You can even mount a backup once it is created to ensure your files and directories are safe.


Key features




  • Back up to image

  • Back up entire drive

  • Restore image files

  • Clone disk

  • Restore with bootable CD

  • Mount images

  • Validate image files

  • Easy to use wizards


What’s wrong?


The only problem I have found with Easeus Todo Backup is that a system restore MUST be done with a bootable CD. But this is the case with most backup solutions, so it is really not that much of a problem. There have also been reported bugs with Windows 7 where Todo Backup will always force a sector-by-sector backup which is incredibly slow. If this happens, a chkdsk is necessary before backing up.


Competitive products



Bottom line for businesses


Home and small businesses will very much appreciate Easeus Todo Backup’s no-nonsense, cost-free approach to backup solutions. For anyone needing a fairly straightforward backup solution, one that won’t require attending a seminar to understand, Todo Backup is the perfect marriage between features and simplicity. And the cost is right on.

Favigen, Favicon Generator

Favigen, Favicon Generator : " Favicons are small icons that help identify websites. They are used as a visual representation of a website both in the web browser and at many online services. The three most prominent locations of favicons are the browser’s address bar, the tabbar and the bookmarks folder. Many webmasters like to create custom favicons to add that custom identifier to their website. Favicons can be created in many image and icon editors, but also online. Favigen is a straightforward favicon generator that can turn an image into a favicon. All that it takes is to pick an image from the local hard drive first, select the dimensions of the favicon and click the submit button to make the service generate the favicon. Favigen supports several image formats, including jpg and png, and it does not seem to have size restrictions either. Available image dimensions range are 16×16, 32×32 and 64×64. The generated favicon is displayed directly on the page. A click on do...

A simple rsync script to back up your home directory

A simple rsync script to back up your home directory : " Backing up important data is obviously something we should all do. Unfortunately, it is not always easy to make it happen. We get lazy; we do not have the additional hardware for a backup server; it takes a long time and a lot of CDs to back up to optical media; we do not trust online backup services; backup schemes are difficult to set up and use — any of dozens of reasons can stand in our way. Still, we know we should be backing up our important data. Modern open source Unix-like operating systems offer a plethora of options for incredibly simple, effective backup schemes, however. If the problem is figuring out how to set one up, a simple rsync solution may be exactly what you need. The rsync utility is used to synchronize files between two systems. It does so by way of incremental copies, only copying from the source to the destination what has not already been copied there, saving time, network bandwidth, and syst...
