Computer Setup and System Configuration • What backup software are you using - need tips?

I used Seagate Discwizard and later bought the full verison Acronis True Image.

Too many strange fenomena
- taking over computer and cannot shut down due to some job it created not visible in a queue or anything
- had to run some utility they had to clear job queue
- strange stuff with mixture of differential and full backups not working

Simply not trusting it.

Macrium Reflect
Just found bugs with simple things like retaining differential backups that are counted cross backup sets, not on the current backup set
- this deleted diff backups from previous backup set making it useless
- reported to support but said that no updates on my version, which is not the point
- seems made to only restore full partitions and in a clumpsy way
- thought it would be perfect to move from old daw computer to new, but not useful for that.
- I can make partial restore with explorer but loose creation date of files restored. I used that both on internet computer and daw. Just not practical to loose that information.

Not trustin Reflect either if the sad day comes and needing a restore.
- and their support not looking at bug report since my version was not updated anymore
- relevant reply would be if this was fixed in newer versions

I don't have Seagate discs anymore, so DiscWizard not applicable.

So what is there among trusted brands for backups?

- and having retained creation date on files as restored, please
Thanks.
