The major problem with keeping all your backups local is all your eggs are in one basket, and if that basket ever catches fire, well...



    I see you tout this software quite a bit, and while it may work well for whole image backup, if you just want to back up specific files and folders, whole image backup isn't an efficient way to do that. Looks like the free version doesn't allow file and folder level backup. One of the nice things about file level backup is you can backup only updated files based on time stamp, and you don't have to shuffle through a directory full of differential images to find what you need.

    As an aside, you can easily accomplish 99% of everything most backup software does using nothing but PowerShell and Robocopy and scheduling tasks, which are both available natively in Windows. I write my own backup routines and they work perfectly.

    This is true. The paid version will do incremental backups
