Hasleo Backup Suite 3 External hard drive or SSD Time required: One hour
AS WE’VE MENTIONED before, the excellent Macrium Reflect Free is being retired, taking with it one of our favorite (and free) ways of backing up. Thankfully, there is an excellent alternative in the form of Hasleo Backup Suite 3. It’s a powerful yet easy-to-use backup tool with all the essential features most people, even power users, will need.
In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to use Hasleo Backup Suite 3 to back up both individual files and your entire Windows installation. The only other thing you’ll need is an external hard drive or SSD, but you can buy the Seagate Portable 2TB 2.5-inch hard drive for $70, or a Toshiba 4TB Canvio model for $165. Whatever your storage needs, it’s a small price to pay for long-term peace of mind in case the worst happens, which it sadly does fairly often. –GUY COCKER
