I use to license Acronis as well and I share your view of the software quality. Since then I moved on to Macrium Reflect: better UI, faster, fewer glitches. It paid off about 9 months ago when a 1TB 970 Pro NVMe failed. Flawlessly restored in about 50 minutes.

I can also attest that Acronis is crap and Macrium software is very high quality. Too bad, though, Reflect Free edition has been discontinued and the paid edition now locks you in a yearly subscription.

  Hasleo Backup is completely free and is a pretty decent alternative to Macrium. I switched to Hasleo after Macrium went to subscription mode. https://www.easyuefi.com/backup-software/backup-suite-free.html https://www.easyuefi.com/backup-software/backup-suite-free.h...

  To be fair, it doesn't really "lock you in": you're still able to restore your backups indefinitely even if you do not renew, just not take new ones.

    And even if you're scared of them removing the ability to restore for free, they released code to handle the new mrimgx format under the MIT license: https://github.com/macrium/mrimgx_file_layout https://github.com/macrium/mrimgx_file_layout

  > the paid edition now locks you in a yearly subscription Good to know and damn, that sucks. I'm still on 8, and I've felt zero need to move on, so I didn't know they'd done that.
