Best Time Machine-esque backup software for Windows 7?

[VMaxMuffin]

Hey guys, quick question on backup software.

 

Basically I want the most time machine-like software for Windows 7, because I really like it for OSX, and whilst Windows Backup seems to be doing the job I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions for better programs?

 

Basically the main features I want is that it has incremental backup, is easy to "set and forget" (and will automatically resume when the backup drive is reconnected like time machine), and I also would prefer a method that has the files easily manually accessible if I wish (although if you can give an argument why another method of backup storage that's not manually accessible is better then I'm all ears). Also, given that I have 3 drives, all of which I want backed up, the software will need to be able to handle this as I can see it being a potential issue (however my 1.5TB of internal drives all up is less than the 2TB backup drive so space is not an issue).

 

Thanks.

Not sure deep freeze is anything like Time Machine

 

@VMaxMuffin honestly there is nothing on windows that works like time machine, you can use things like shadow copy on windows but its not the same

Yeah I think I'll just keep using Windows backup for now. I'll report back if I discover anything.

File History does the same thing, just need to go to "Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\File History" and click "Restore Personal Files"

 

That's only Windows 8 though AFAIK. Can't find it in W7 at least.

Darn, Windows 8 has these features. I use it daily!

 

I don't think there is an integrated feature like that on Windows 7. 

I think Acronis has some backup features though.
