I am sorry to repeat this question, but most of the responses are from several years ago. On the chance that something has changed, I am wondering which is Better/Safer/Simpler to Use? As you can see, I have a 1T HD and two external drives (330gb & 1T).
Thanks in advance for any help you may provide.

Macrium Reflect Standard.
(1) "system image" backups, multiple generations in target folder
(2) "data" folder/file backups, FULL + INCREMENTAL, multiple generations
(3) standalone boot CD or USB for true disaster recovery restore of "system image" backup, or convenient Boot Manager menu item if hard drive is still usable
(4) automatic space management "grooming" to delete old generations
(5) active vendor support
(6) very reasonable price
Neither of your choices would really excite me. As was said, use free Macrium.
Imaging with free Macrium
I would recommend Aomei Backupper, the best freebie. FREE Backup software for Windows 7, 8 and Server 2008 R2, 2012
Why, have you tried the others to see what they offer, or do you not bother and just keep doing the same thing ?I would go with Macrium. I just restored with it last night and it worked without a hitch
I started the whole macrium thing back on Vista Forums years ago, it was the best thing around at the time.
It is always worth trying new things, sometimes they are awful, like windows 8.
Sometimes they are better than what you were using previously, like Backupper is.
AOMEI is certainly worth trying. It is easy to use and works well on 64bit systems. On 32bit systems there is still some work in progress.
I am a Macrium fan too, but it never hurts to have options.
