If your source disk contains Dynamic Volume(s) then the background will be orange and the link will show 'Copy Dynamic Volumes.': Because of this, Dynamic volume file systems are copied not disk partitions.

Original story - Dynamic volume is a logical abstraction of the underlying physical disk and may be striped or extended over multiple physical disks. Todo Backup works well and offers everything most users need. Macrium Reflect also comes in a free version, but doesn’t mount images.

copy an entire disk structure to another disk, as well.Īlthough Easeus Todo Backup isn’t the best imaging/backup program out there, it has by far the best price-free. If that weren’t enough, the program also comes with a Linux-based boot recovery CD so you can recover your system if disaster strikes. This allows you to easily browse and recover individual files and folders using Windows Explorer. In addition to allowing a full restore, Easeus Todo Backup mounts (and un-mounts) the images it creates as virtual hard drives. Another minor complaint is that although you could interpret the help PDF as indicating support for optical media, I was unable to back up to such. My biggest complaint is that despite setting the options to not split the backup, the program split the backup into 4.2GB DVD-suitable sections anyway. Since few users image VM hard drives, I give Easeus Todo Backup a better than passing grade. It even backed up my system partition without a squawk. It didn’t work in the virtual machine, but in the regular-Joe systems, the program worked perfectly. I tested Todo in a virtual machine, then under three standard installations. But for anyone willing to back up and cull backups manually, this program has a lot to recommend it. True, the free Easeus Todo Backup doesn’t do every single backup task: It won’t schedule, overwrite previous jobs, or do incremental backups. Label me a skeptic: I just don’t get how companies can make money giving stuff like this away.
