Looking for simple Backup & Restore Software

Hello! I just installed a Windows 8 computer for a friend and he needs a simple, automated backup solution comparable to the Backup & Restore included in Windows 7. Can someone recommend a good freeware that can be scheduled to do incremental data backups as well as system images? Thanks, and if this has already been discussed just link those threads :thumb:

Sometimes one must pay for what they want.

I use the standard version of Macrium & find it very useful. :)

AOMEI Backupper Technician has proven to work well for me.

Not sure if free version has the incremental backup feature, though.

Macrium works well too but no incremental backups w/out pay.

AOMEI Backupper Standard does have the ability to schedule incremental backups. I will give it a try, thanks.

I use the built-in "file history" facility to do continuous incremental backups (to a networked drive) of my personal data, and then do weekly full disk image backups (to a portable USB drive) with macrium reflect free to allow for recovery from a catastrophic crash or infection.
