I have an older version of Acronis that I use for my desktop and when I got my Win 8.1 laptop discovered that it would not work with that (newest version does), so I found AOMEI Back Up and tried that and found it to be a good substitute for Acronis. It is freeware. When I upgraded to Win 10 it works with that as well. I back up with this to an external hard drive and do full drive image backups. Like Acronis it also has a rescue disk feature so that in the event your hard drive goes down you can boot to the rescue dish (USB stick works for this) and connect to the image backup and restore the drive. You can also do file and folder backups.
SyncBackFree is good for file copy backups. We use that also. AOMEI is best for full drive image backups.
