I have a Windows 7 Ultimate system I would like to backup every day to an old laptop with an external HDD. I've tried using Windows' built in Backup and Restore software, but it insists on backing up both my 120 GB SSD AND my 1.5 TB storage drive if I want it to make an image. In the end this takes it 10+ hours to complete a backup from start to finish, which is idiotic.
So what other good backup solutions are there. I'd like one that could make a full image of a HDD (for any drive I specify, not the "all or nothing" bullshit Windows demands) and allow me to pull out individual files if need be. Of course a free option would be ideal, but I'd be willing to spend ~$20 on something if its really worthwhile.
In the past I used Acronis TrueImage Home which was fine, but that was quite a few years ago and I imagine there are a lot of other options out there these days.
