However, if you use a USB to back up data, you will always do it manually. Therefore, here we give you the data-backup software - EaseUS Todo Backup.

With this program, you can back up an entire hard drive of Windows 10 and other Windows versions, back up selected disk partitions, or create a free system backup image. Most importantly, you can do it manually or schedule a backup task to save your data automatically.

Step 3. Your Windows operating system information and all system related files and partitions will be automatically selected so you don't need to do any manual selection at this step. Next, you'll need to choose a location to save the system image backup by clicking the illustrated area.

Step 4. The backup location can be another local drive on your computer, an external hard drive, network, cloud or NAS. Generally, we recommend you use an external physical drive or cloud to preserve the system backup files.
