What is EaseUS Todo Backup for Mac?

EaseUS Todo Backup for Mac is a good addition to Time Machine with extra features. You can create bootable backups using disk cloning functionality, encrypted backups to keep your data safe, choose which files or folders to back up, compress your archives, back up mounted and network disks.

EaseUS Todo Backup consists of several tools which let you back up your files in different ways. You can create a backup, archived backup, clone a hard disk or sync the content of a pair of folders.

Backup is a way to place copies of files in another location while preserving the original formats of these files. This is useful if you need to quickly access individual files in the backup. What is more, you can do this in Finder without using EaseUS Todo Backup.

Archived backup stores files inside an archive. You can choose to compress the archive, thus potentially saving disk space. Such archives let you use some additional features such as encryption or making incremental backups.

Disk Clone is a special type of backup. It creates copies of your files in the original format. The main purpose of disk cloning is to duplicate your entire hard drive including the system files. As a result, you can boot your computer from the duplicate drive if it was your working drive. Cloning takes much longer than backing up only the user files. For this reason, cloning is usually combined with more frequent backups of files you modify regularly.

Synchronization is used to ensure that the contents of two folders are identical. Synchronization can also be used to create copies of your files in a second location and keep them up-to-date. As synchronization updates only files that have been changed, it is faster than copying all files every time.
