EaseUS Workstation WinPE USB3 disk support
Doe anyone have experience using EaseUS Workstation backup software version 9.3 Win PE boot disk to recover from a backup stored on a USB3 disk drive ?
I have created a backup using EaseUS version 9.3, storing the backup on a USB3 external disk. When I attempt a recovery using the WinPE recovery disk, the external disk is not visible. I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
I would like to hear from anyone who has hands-on experience of a USB3 external disk that is visible after booting from the WinPE disk and would like to know the specific make and model number of the disk that works.
I am particularly interested in a 1 TB disk.
Thanks,
Roger

As USB 3 devices are backward compatible with USB 2, just connect the disk to a USB 2 port on the PC. If your PC only has USB 3 ports, you will have to check whether you can load the PC's USB 3 drivers in WinPE.
you can use the usb 3 creator utility from intel, or use their instructions :

Sorry to have been unresponsive recently. The USB 3 creator only works on Windows 8.1 or later so that is not an option.
I need to be able to restore the entire disk from a backup file so I can't rely on being able to load drivers from the existing system drive as it might be broken or corrupted. there isn't a USB2 port on the PC, they are all USB 3 ports.
I am currently exchanging questions with EaseUS software support. In the event that the issue can't be resolved, I would be interested to know of other good quality backup software that is guaranteed to work with USB 3 external disk drives and windows 7 (other than Acronis).

I tried Paragon but had the same problem.
Eventually I tried Acronis backup 12 and the bootable media worked first time so I am going with Acronis. I had heard scare stories about Acronis being a problem if you wanted to remove it.
Thanks for you help in any case.
