Advice Request Need a simple and effective backup software.

[jackwilli]

Hello friends, I am new here. I just bought my new PC and looking for a good backup and recovery software. As I am not a advanced user, my last laptop now has no OS as i missed backup software. But now I don't want to be on risk. Please suggest free backup software as i don't need email backup or other features. It will be much for me as I can create my System and important files' backup and could recover them effectively.

Aomei Backupper: AOMEI Software: Data Backup & Restore, Hard Drive Partition, Disk Clone

Macrium Reflect Free: Macrium Software | Macrium Reflect Free

I have checked out that but there are no incremental backups and too many settings for me to get confused.

How is EaseUS Todo Backup? Does anyone use it, how is it in recovery?

There are incremental backups in Macrium Reflect Free.
Besides the products mentioned above, I would also recommend Paragon.

I have come to four choices:
1. AOMEI Backupper
2. EaseUS Todo Backup
3. Paragon Backup and recovery 17
4. Macrium Reflect
Which one would be the best choice?

Really, but on their website, there are no incremental backups in free version.

Did you get any trouble while recovering with Paragon.

Try it for yourself. You can schedule daily increments in the main ui.

Never heard of Uranium, will check that

I use Macrium Reflect for free.
I make a copy every month and delete the old one.
I don't need Incremental.
I've done a lot of recoveries with MR
and has never failed me.

Which one would be fast AOMEI or Macrium reflect?

I've used very little AOMEI and it's fine but I've never done any recovery. There are people who use it and speak well of that program.

Tried Aomei Backupper and it worked for making a full backup no problems, but when i tried to make a differential or incremental it failed and gave an error code which didn't exist on their support page. Currently using Macrium Reflect Free with no problems.

AEMOI and EaseUS seem to tend to be sensitive to the environment to use.
Although the UI of 'Macrium' looks more difficult compared to other things, there is nothing to adjust so much once it is set.

I'd suggest the one that's been recommended already in Macrium Reflect, very easy to use and you can also lookup YT videos to help with anything as well.]
