![]() Admittedly my approach is not typical - I back up quite rarely (every month at best), and don't bother dealing with files which change (in that case only the newest version of the file is kept) - due to the fact that 99% of the files (in terms of volume) I back up are not supposed to change (images and home video files). SyncBack under Windows served me reliably for many years, as the first stage back up (from home desktop to an external hard drive). ![]() Macrium Reflect is an EXCELLENT tool, but I just use it to clone disks, and not as a backup solution. Robocopy is good, but no verify (via Hash compare like TeraCopy) or any other type. This setup has saved my ass more than a few times.

Life is too short to wait 8 hours for a backup to finish. I hate backup packages that fail at random for obscure reasons, esp. This is the absolute worst - a backup package that lets you down when you really need it.Ģ. Some have better features in their free versions, including encryption and incremental backups, but there are problems that I just can't put up with in any of these packages:ġ. I've tried Veeam, Acronis True Image, Easus Todo Backup Free, Aomei Backer Upper Pro, Paragon etc. ![]() Macrium Reflect Free is probably the best of the free packages, even though it doesn't support encryption or incremental backup (only differential). ![]()
