I have a Windows 11 laptop computer. I have a EaseUs Todo backup, a Windows recovery drive on disk and a Rufus/Windows iso bootable drive. Under what scenarios should each be used for if I encounter problems with my PC
It appears as if double-clicking the image file activates an EaseUS Todo service of some kind that lets you explore that file in a virtual manner. Does that limit you to using the GUI? What if you wanted to use the command prompt or power shell? Is there a way to "cd" into those virtual directories? Perhaps once the GUI activates the service that creates those virtual directories, then you would be able to "cd" to where you want to go? Also, if you had password protected your backup image, then when you double-clicked the image file, I am assuming that you would be prompted for the password?
@@askleonotenboomIt looked like you started in your "D:" drive, and never left your "D:" drive. It looked like your image file was on your "D:" drive, and EaseUS created directories below the directory containing the image file. I did not see a new drive letter assigned.
When you don’t want the entire image.
These things seem simple, but believe me, having step by step instructions is very useful. Thank you!
Thanks

If I select "File Compression" will a background process appropriately decompress the backed up file when I drag it to its destination?
Yes.
I double clicked the 266 GB .pbd file stored on an HDD but it doesn't open. I don't currently have EaseUS to Do installed.
You do need it installed for that to work.
@@askleonotenboom Thanks Leo. Yeah I installed it and was able to open it.

It assigns a drive letter, so I would certainly assume that's available.

Does this work in the free version?
I believe so, yes.
@@askleonotenboom Doesn't seem to. You can only do a total restore.
I tell a lie, this time it did!
@@batman51 so the free-version is still working? I thought they ended that.
