AOMEI Backupper Standard[^]
It's free - you can pay to upgrade, but if you don't need the features it works fine.

It creates disk images, which you can store as files in folders as date points on USB or NAS drives, or write to CD / DVD if you are old fashioned. In theory, you could push them to the cloud, but since they will be pretty big it might take a while...

It also does "regular" file backups - so if you want to backup your work every day, it can do that as well.

You can compress (my 1TB drive compressed to 350GB on "Normal" compression, but it's only about half full); you can encrypt; you can split the archives.

And the best bit is that you can restore the disk image, or mount it as a virtual drive to fetch individual files or folders if you need them - so you get the best of both worlds.
The UI is pretty simple to understand, and it works on 7, 8, 8.1, and 10 so if you decide you can't cope with the ugly flat win 10 look, you can revert without having to trust Microsoft not to lose your data in the process...Laugh | :laugh:

I like it: and I'm a big fan of backups, so if you don't make them on a regular basis then get it, and do it. If you don't, you know you are going to wish you had sometime next week, right?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
