HDD backup software

My older version of Acronis will not work with my new UEFI motherboard. Since I'm just doing simple manual partition backups, can someone suggest a (preferably free) replacement? Hopefully with a similar UI to Acronis.

    I'm needing an disc image backup, not file backup.
  • I take a very simple approach. Put all my stuff in a single directory tree and then simply copy the directory to a thumb drive every now and then. Everything else can be reinstalled.
  • I use the free AOMEI Backupper Standard. It allows you to create any number of system image restore backups, provides the option of subsequent differential or incremental backups, a cloning disk option for upgrading your drive, and has an encrypted backup option to secure your restore images(recommended).

    No other backup app I've found offers these features for free. Though can get them for paid versions elsewhere.
