For years, I've used Acronis True Image. In the last year or so, I've grown dissatisfied. In an office with 15-20 laptops, Acronis is only working on about half of them. The other ones either flat out fail to install (which makes no sense) or when the backup job is created, the backup job just flat out fails to run. We've had no luck trying to solve those problems, with support or on our own, and I'd like to get peoples' experiences on alternatives.
I don't want to hear about CrashPlan, Carbonite, Mozy, etc. I only care about applications that backup the whole OS and allow you to do a bare metal restore without needing to reinstall all your OS, apps, drivers, license keys, etc. Today we searched around and have identified the following potential alternatives: Genie Timeline http://www.genie9.com/ Altaro Oops!Backup http://www.altaro.com/home-pc-backup/ AX64 Time Machine http://ax64.com/ Horizon Datasys RollBack RX http://www.horizondatasys.com/en/rollback_rx.ihtml Does anybody have experience with these products, or additional alternatives not identified? (I have evaluated, and eliminated for various reasons, Windows Backup, Terabyte Unlimited Image for Windows, and Paragon Backup & Recovery.) Requirements are: (Essentially Apple Time Machine. Complete system backup, without user interference, and ability to restore individual files and specify excludes) Runs in the background, while windows is running. Low priority doesn't interfere with users' work. Incremental runs at least once every day. (Hourly is preferable). Complete system backup, with ability to restore either complete system or individual files. Specify exclude files and/or exclude directories.
