What's good backup software these days?

I've been running EaseUS Todo Workstation Backup for a few years after kicking Acornis to the curb. Well I'm ready to kick EaseUS to the curb.

What are some good alternatives?

Acronis

I switch to Todo because Acornis was garbage.

It was a number of years ago but I think part of the reason why I got rid of Acornis was it was not able to create new backup chains without corrupting the previous chain.

What version of ToDo are you using? Family? Free?

I still use Acronis True Image or the free alternative/rip-off AOMEI Backupper.

If time is an issue, then look for something that supports differential backup.
The initial backup will take the normal amount of time, but, after that, the differential backups will be pretty quick.

If time isn't an issue, you can pretty much use anything, but, remember to TEST the backup, since I have had cases where the backup image was actually corrupted, but the *container* was OK. When you select verify in backup products, they don't actually verify the data, they just verify the container is OK, nothing else, which I think is lame.

Shadowprotect does most of what you are asking. It's not file based though so may not cover all of your bases.
