Not happy with Acronis Backup & Restore. I need a good program to backup my PC to my External harddrive please.
My Computer
System One
-
- OS
- Windows 8
Macrium Reflect Free
The Standard version has a boot time recovery environment.
I use it.
Works good.
Format the USB as NTFS for 1 big image file.

If by that, you mean large enough to hold the image backup, a safe presumption is larger than the combination of the boot partition and OS partition that contain Win8. MR typically gets around 50% compression when you choose the "high" option, so this would generally give you enough room to store two images.
