Backup solutions for clients?

On Windows I use a combination of methods.  I use Window's built-in Backup to regularly backup selected folder structures such as My Documents.  For me there's enough flexibilty in terms of choossing the content to back up and simple scheduling.  I also use FreeFileSync which I run manually from time to time to manage backups of large amounts of infrequently updated material.  I found FreeFileSync good enough that I have paid for it for a year to keep up to date with newer versions.  Both are worth considering in my view.  I am sure there will be other recommendations.

I use Acronis TrueImage to backup by Windows boxes (both physical & VM) directly to unraid. It's not a free product but it's mostly set & forget.

 

I've been able to successfully restore multiple failed systems due to a drive going bad with no data loss though sometimes I had to install a fresh copy of Windows and then overwrite the Windows partition with the Windows partition backup.

 

Note that you can only tie 5 systems to any given email address on their system.
