Hi buf,
Although slower than Acronis,
I now use the retail version of EASEUS Todo Backup version 3.5 with a flash drive as emergency recovery boot disc.
Not impressed with the GUI of the current version 4.0 of EASEUS though...
I looked at the 4.0 version and was not impressed either. A part of my further study of this software included what others were saying about the freebie app and a number of them were dissatified with it. I think some were thinking it was a come on to cause one to buy the app. I could never find the "validation" in the free version. Guess they call it something else !! I take your post to mean that you 'sorta' like it but is a good alternative to Acronis.

Shinma, I received the above offer from EaseUS via a newsletter on 3-11-12. Too bad this wasn't offered before you bought the version you now have. Maybe you can still get it???
