For me, every Sunday morning (beginning at 2:00 AM) is backup day, plus any other day of the week that I might be making changes in my system.

Always create a fresh drive image before making system changes/Windows updates; you may need to start over!

We all have our own reasons for doing the things that we do with our systems; we don't need anyone's approval, and we don't all have to do the same things.

We were all once "Average Users".

For me every day at 3 AM is a backup day. 1,16 every month a full image. Any other day incremental backup.

A Task Scheduler-run command triplicates my data daily, to a separate drive on my daily driver and to my NAS (as well as the cloud).  I don’t do incremental backups.

I do full drive images a couple of times a year.  Those are primarily to rebuild my partitioning structure should I lose a drive and have to replace it, and then I can restore the up-to-date data to each partition.

Always create a fresh drive image before making system changes/Windows updates; you may need to start over!

We backup daily to internal drives (Acronis True Image for Western Digital), weekly to two separate external drives (Acronis and data files using Windows File Explorer), and monthly cloning the C drive onto a third external drives prior to updating Windows.

Aomei is always free for personal use. The “pro” version adds nothing a user needs to perform a complete backup.

Alex, they should pay you for the advert!  🙂
