Backup Software for Windows 10 / High end workstation

[lutho]

Hi All,

I would appreciate thoughts regarding best backup software for a high end - high performance workstation. I simply want to take a regular reliable backup (happy to schedule this manually if need be). I bought Acronis Workstation only to find out it runs an MS-SQL instance as it is nowadays designed for management of a larger fleet. The Acronis True Image interface is just too horrible and limiting.

Any product recommendations? Or good/bad experiences anyone?

Thanks in advance, Lex

I am using SyncBack Free and there is a Pro option if you need more features.

Thanks - looks simple and that is what I am after. Any experience using it to recover a system?

I never used it to recover my system. For that I use Windows System Image.

My PC has suffered total meltdown before from a virus.
I found that having a Windows image is the quickest, easiest, most reliable means to put it back.
That's why I am extra careful to always have at least 2 backups.
One runs every night and the other I do onto external HDD's.
