Battle Kindly help me decide on a snapshot tool

[ytbro00]

I'm using Macrium Reflect to backup my files right now. It's not bad and does the job but just thought there might be something better. I've used some other software a few years back that I don't remember anymore (didn't like it).

Anyway, I'm looking for some sort of a snapshot utility right now that would I could use to quickly take a snapshot of my system and restore it in a fast manner as well with a clean UI. Currently looking at Rollback RX and Arconis right now. Any thoughts on this?

Any alternative software suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have used Acronis for about 3 or 4 years now and it has served it purpose well.

Pros : No installation required if you used Acronis Boot CD, Full CD backup takes about 4 minutes (250gb SSD) and incremental backup takes about 1 minutes.

Cons : Once you restore a image or snapshot and try to do an incremental backup, it does a full image backup instead of appending the changes. That con is only for USB or CD boot, Don't have that issue with Acronis installed.

If you're gonna use/test RollBack Rx, just have at least 1 full backup from Macrium Reflect. RollBack Rx is known to be flaky, so you better be safe than sorry.

In my eyes it doesn't matter if I use RollBack Rx or Acronis. They have always the same job. I would take a freeware or the cheapest. Acronis and Paragon are always a good choice.

I have reliedon Macrium Reflect and Aomei Backupper here for many years now and it would take a lot for me to change my mind on a backup solution.

In the past 8 years i've been using this ACRONIS releases on all my machines:
ACRONIS True image 2016, True Image ACRONIS 2017, ACRONIS NG and the latest release ACRONIS 2018.
..had no problems at all and therefore i would recommend one of this ACRONIS releases....

Safest: Macrium reflect Paid.
Fastest: Rollback RX.

MR does backup as you stated, but imaging is more complete and satisfying for an OS restore. I'd stick w/MR (paid).
