EaseUS Todo Backup vs VM Backup

EaseUS Todo Backup is backup and recovery software for Windows and macOS, with listed coverage for computers and servers and ransomware protection. The Free plan covers file, system, disk, and partition backup and recovery. The paid Home Yearly plan costs $39.95 per year, billed yearly, for one computer and 1 TB of cloud storage. Home Perpetual is $59.95 per once, billed Perpetual, and covers one computer. Home Lifetime Upgrades is $79.95 per month, billed Lifetime Upgrades, also for one computer. The product is described as freemium, with paid plans from $39.95/yr. Its backup scope and restore modes are both listed as mixed, so those labels do not specify one uniform scope or restoration mode. EaseUS, the maker, was founded in 2004. The listed operating systems are Windows and macOS. The plan details distinguish the Free plan’s backup and recovery coverage from the computer allowance and cloud storage specified for paid home options.

VM Backup is Hornetsecurity’s backup and replication software for virtual machines running on Hyper-V, VMware, and Proxmox. It runs on Windows hosts and can schedule live backups as often as every five minutes without downtime. Recovery options include restoring a whole VM or selected files and Exchange items, moving a restore to another host, and starting a VM from backup. It supports management of the three hypervisors from one console, with a separate console for remote installations. Listed destinations include Microsoft Azure, Impossible Cloud Storage, Backblaze B2, Amazon S3, and Wasabi; the product also lists AES-256 encryption and a monitor that checks backup storage integrity and may attempt repairs in a later job. VMware backups can be restored to Hyper-V and vice versa. Proxmox LXC container backups are unsupported, and the listed requirements say Proxmox replication and CDP were not yet available in that version information. Free Edition covers two VMs per host; a fully featured trial lasts 30 days.
