Wow, great timing!

I am trying to find incremental backup software for Windows so I can roll my workstation back from backups saved on my NAS. This would all be complimenting my CrashPlan backup.

I just bought Acronis True Image 2015 and it appears to be crap... it stops running and won't start again, and I absolutely loathe the Fisher-Price interface. I'm on the verge of getting a refund. Does anyone have a favorite incremental backup/"Time Machine" for Windows? I do dumb stuff, so I need an "undo" button.

Unless you're looking for a complete "image" backup? If so, Acronis is actually one of the best. Carbonite has a "Mirror Image" option also, but it has some pretty steep limitations.

Yeah, I was looking for something to "roll back" my OS drive by minutes or hours when I do something stupid. Unfortunately, it appears that the latest version is watered-down and crappy. I had their tech-support remote access my computer for over an hour getting it to work, and then it stopped working again a few hours later... all on a fresh format/Windows install. I've had it for 3 days and it's been failing most of the time... which doesn't exactly inspire confidence in a backup scheme, even if they could make it work eventually. I went ahead and filed for a refund.

I'm looking at Macrium, even though it costs a bit more. I've used their free stuff to migrate drives a few times and it worked great.
