Does EaseUS Todo Backup run on Linux?

Verdict: No

No. EaseUS Todo Backup is Windows software and EaseUS lists only Windows versions on its product page. There is no Linux build, but Linux comes with backup tools of its own.

The EaseUS Todo Backup Free page lists Windows 11, 10, 8 and 7 as the supported systems. Linux is not mentioned and there is nothing to install.

The important thing here is your existing backups. EaseUS saves them in its own .pbd image file, and no Linux program opens that. If those images hold the only copy of anything, restore the files you care about onto an external drive while Windows still works, and check they open. A backup you have never tested is not really a backup.

On Linux the same job is done by apps that come with the system or sit in the app store. Déjà Dup on Ubuntu and Pika Backup on Fedora both copy your documents and photos to an external drive on a schedule and keep older versions, which covers what most people used EaseUS for.

Whole disk images are the other half of what EaseUS did, and Rescuezilla handles that. It makes a copy of an entire drive that can be written back if the disk dies, and it looks like an ordinary program rather than the older tools it is built on.

What to use instead of EaseUS Todo Backup

Déjà Dup Backups

Close matchFree

Preinstalled on Ubuntu and the simplest option. File and folder backups to an external drive with versions you can roll back to.

Your files: Cannot open .pbd files. Restore from EaseUS on Windows first, then back up the restored files here.

Pika Backup

Close matchFree

Clear screens and a quick restore. Good on Fedora and available through the app store on Ubuntu too.

Your files: Cannot open .pbd files. Starts a fresh backup.

Rescuezilla

Close matchFree

The closest to the disk cloning side of EaseUS. Copies a whole drive so you can put it back after a failure.

Your files: Cannot read EaseUS images. Makes its own drive images.

This doesn't have to stop you

One stubborn program doesn't have to decide the whole question. You can keep Windows on the same PC and restart into it only when you need EaseUS Todo Backup. Everything else you do can move.
