Comments on Backup and Restore for PC
Macrium Reflect
Redo Rescue is actively being developed as of 2020. This article says it was "discontinued on November 2012", but it was recently updated with a new release!
I threw a lot of these into the trash can in disgust.
Paragon Backup & Recovery was a particularly painful one. Every time Windows 10 upgraded itself (e.g. 1607 to 1703,) this backup app required a license reactivation. Long story short, one day, I needed to restore my system and I discovered it hadn't been backing anything up for a month!
Acronis True Image is the second painful one. It has everything one desires, but since it kept corrupting my backups, I had to let it go. It's been six years since then, so maybe I should give it another try.
My favorite backup apps right now are Veeam Agent and Macrium Reflect.
