Thank you rickNS for your experience using EaseUS ToDo Backup, as you suggest there may not in fact be many forum members who do use it. Plenty of advice, and much discussion of the relative merits of different backup software tools, on the forum already! I do need to look sometime into the question of backing up both operating systems on a dual-boot computer, in Mint I have so far relied on Timeshift backups, and discovered through experience that copying a Timeshift backup to a usb memory doesn't seem a viable option. Maybe a simple partition backup could be relied on, while providing less comprehensive protection? In the absence of a post by a dual-boot user who has used EaseUS ToDo Backup successfully, I shall have to assume that a 'System Backup' can't be relied on to successfully restore a Windows partition on a Windows-Mint computer, for exactly the kind of technical reasons that concerned me.
That is the crux of the matter, and you are not sure whether there would actually be a problem? Then there is still the Boot Loader restore issue, as if the EaseUS Todo Backup doesn't restore the Windows Boot method, then you could need to Restore that Windows Boot Menu & it's Boot Loader, and that alone will mess up your LinuxMint Boot Loader in the process, that then will also need to be Restored. With so many Mint users, many with dual-boot systems, I was assuming that a number would be using EaseUs Backup software, and that someone might be able to confirm that a 'System Backup' could be used to restore Windows reliably if the need arises.Īnd my second question was simply whether anyone knew whether an EaseUS 'emergency recovery disk' created on one computer could also be used to restore a second similar computer.
But the link you provided may in fact be useful, and it looks as if I might also have access to the Chat facility, although my past experience of Chat is that it is unlikely to be helpful for anything out of the ordinary.Īnd when I referred to my 'immediate' need I meant that I was asking specifically about backup using EaseUs ToDo, so many threads on backup that I have read in the past have soon turned into a debate between experienced users on the relative merits of different backup software. Thank you decrepit, but an EaseUs 'System Restore' backup created on Windows wouldn't need to read the Linux partition, unless I am seriously mistaken.Īnd thank you Kadaitcha Man, I am using EaseUs ToDo Backup Free and had read that there was no support available for the free version.
