I use Acronis but it is paid one. But once I used EaseUS Todo Backup Free. Nice one.

Macrium Reflect Free: Macrium Software | Your Image is Everything
I use both Macrium Reflect Free and Aomei Backupper Pro, both are very reliable. 
Aomei, always work when it comes to restoring, even over the network.
An image from a app like this is only as good as the possibility to restore it easy.

I used Aomei, very good indeed. But now i prefer Macrium Free. Works Great.
Cannot give a reason for the change, only, i love to try new software & compare their performance & usage on my system, then according to my needs i choose the one which suits best.
Have a list of good programs & then try them yourself on your system, then choose the one that fits perfectly (or close to) for your needs. I think this to be the best practice for anyone.

Macrium Reflect free - for imaging, syncback free - for file sync.
Rollback RX Home edition is a very good bit of free software. I have the Pro edition (paid for) and its got me out of a lot of situations.
Its not strictly a backup- more of an emergency system restore. But you can do regular backups with other software and use both together.

Whether paid for or free, it's always Macrium Reflect without a doubt.

Both Macrium reflect, Aomei Backupper Standard are my favorite.
For some Win 7 systems at home, I use the free version of Macrium for a full backup, and if there's additional disk space, another system image using the built-in system. For incremental backups, I use the desktop app from Crashplan.
For Win 8.1, I use the built-in system and the file history. But for ease of use and to do file backups of folders outside libraries (like the ones in appdata), I've had to use a paid version of Acronis from the start to backup the whole system plus separate sets for the browser, mail reader, and games, and have had no problems with it. I've been able to restore the whole system more than once (due to problems I caused when I was playing with system features to lessen wear-and-tear on the SSD) as well as individual files (especially those that are used by the browser and are located in the user directory).
