Macrium Reflect Free doesn’t pretend to be everything. No cloud sync, no incremental chains, no central console. But it nails the one job it’s supposed to do — full image backup and restore — and it nails it every time.

Bacula isn’t trying to be cute. It’s not for the faint of heart or the GUI-bound. But if you’re comfortable editing config files, thinking in daemons, and want your backups to behave the way you want — Bacula gives you that power.

Veeam Agent for Windows Free is one of those rare tools that punches way above its (free) weight class. It’s fast, clean, doesn’t need a server component, and gives you the kind of restore power that usually costs hundreds.

UrBackup is what you install when you want centralized, scriptable, multi-platform backups — and don’t want to mortgage your SAN to do it. It’s not pretty in a marketing-deck way, but it’s reliable, quiet, and gets the job done.
