What's your imaging solution?

I know that a lot of folks here use Macrium reflect, but there must be others that use something else? Like Acronis True Image, Minitool Partition Wizard, Iperius Backup, or Clonezilla, and my favorite and the one that I use! EaseUS Todo Backup. There are many more to choose from out there. Some free most paid. So which one do you use and how often do you image your system?? ME! Once a week. At the end of the month, I delete the first 3 images and keep the fourth. Post a screenshot. I just did a clean install on my main system today and imaged it but forgot my updates. Ran updates and reimaged. I kept them both.

Thanks Paul but I'm not planning on leaving EaseUS ToDo Backup anytime soon or even ever. Nice list though! I created a PDF for reference.

You are VERY welcome.

I use Macrium reflect. I only make full OS image backups. I make them before doing something... risky, or something that takes a while and I don't want to have to do again.

Thanks @SIW2,
I have added them to my list for future use.
