Both tools allow users to take image based or file-based backups, create multiple backup sets and both have great scheduling tools making automatic backups easy to configure.įurthermore, for any users making use of the image-based backup functionality, both tools allow for recovery media to be built and burned to a DVD / USB flash drive. Usability is, of course, a key consideration when choosing backup software, not only must backup software be easy to use and navigate but also easy for users to understand their application and be confident that their data is being securely backed up.īoth True Image 2021 and ToDo Backup Home are easy to install, configure and as such both provide for a quick and easy first backup experience. Overall I think these services are fairly evenly matched in most regards, I do however feel that by allowing customers to integrate their own cloud storage and the slightly cheaper pricing (including lifetime upgrades on the perpetual licence) give EaseUS ToDo Backup Home a (very) slight edge here!

As such if you want to make use of your own existing cloud storage ToDo Backup might be the more cost effective option.īoth providers offer 30 day trial periods meaning you can easily try both pieces of software for yourselves, follow these links to get a free trial from either Acronis True Image or EaseUS ToDo Backup. Whilst ToDo Backup Home doesn’t have a smartphone app nor the synchronisation or sharing options of Acronis (or their own cloud storage service for that matter), they do provide support for third party cloud providers including Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive (something Acronis does not have).

* Acronis does support unlimited version retention and storage when using your own storage, when using the Acronis cloud this is limited to 6 months and a fixed storage allocation of at least 500GB.Īs can be seen above, we are at the core dealing with two very similar applications! True Image 2021 does have a slight advantage over ToDo Backup in that it provides users with access to a free smartphone app and allows file sharing and desktop synchronisation for those on certain subscriptions levels featuring access to the Acronis cloud (but unfortunately not the most basic subscription level nor the perpetual licence which lacks this functionality).
