Backup Software for Windows

[Appleboy45]

I recently bought a 5TB Seagate Backup Plus Portable hard drive for my PC to keep a back up of the three drives in there (1x500GB Samsung 850 EVO, 1xWD Black 1TB, 1xWD Blue 3TB, none are in a RAID). I tried using Seagate’s included Toolkit software. That software, however, is probably the buggiest software I have ever used, and I have since uninstalled it. For now, I am using File History on Windows 10. Though, it only backs up the 500GB SSD (my boot drive). I am considering other software, free or paid. I have been looking at Acronis. Thinking about downloading the free trial, and maybe buying it*. Does anyone know any other software they use for backup? Has to be able to back up my three drives, and keep the backups up to date.

 

*Does anyone know if Acronis will backup all three drives? Seems like it does, but I’m not sure.

Try Macrium Reflect. I don't trust Acronis so much, but Macrium Reflect never disappointed me.

It's for imaging/restore/cloning, but you can mount images in system, so it's like backup - only faster.

Try using the built in backup in windows in control panel. Its different(its called backup and restore windows 7). It lets you backup all your drives and make a disk image aswell.

I suggest using Macrium Reflect free to image your boot drive and FreeFileSync in Mirror mode to backup your data drives.
