I use EaseUS Todo Backup Home to mirror the whole hard drive. It can do incremental backups but each one is still huge compared to just copying and pasting files like the Bvckup program does below. I will manually do an update once in a while while still keeping the original image file.

I use MiniTool Partition Wizard to create a partition on the big harddrive and used it once to recover a corrupted partition which allowed me to get my files back.

I use Bvckup 2 Pro for Workstation . I like this the best of backups as it is very easy to create a task to automatically backup your files.
It copies my files to two different hard drives. One internal and one external. Runs in the background. You do not even notice. Backups any new individual files. An icon is in the system tray in the lower right corner.

Go to File> Add new backup and browse to your files you want to backup.
It just copies and pastes the files over. No proprietary software needed to recover. Just copy and paste back.

Thanks, but is it free, since AOMEI will also do incremental backups.
