"The Best PC System Backup & Restore Program EVER for me"
Version: Paragon Backup & Recovery Free Edition (32 bit) 10.1
Pros
*Simple-to-use wizards for complete PC system backup (full or differential) and restore (whole PC, partition or individual files).
*Pretty darn fast (complete PC restoration of 30GB of data and programs in just under 1 hour).
*FREECons
*Confusing + overly technical help notes for everyday PC users.
Just need to do a full PC backup + then every 1 or 2 weeks a differential backup. (Restore needs latest differential backup + full backup)
Create a bootable rescue usb drive and/or CD.Summary
*Also, the others features (that I could not fit into the above comments and that are important for me) are that the backups can be password-protected and compressed (88Gb backup files for about 100Gb PC programs and files).
*The backup process can take 2-3 hours for 110 Gb hard drive (90 Gb data). The restore still only takes around 1 hour!
*Backups can also be scheduled.
Summary
-----------
All this powerful and extremely useful functionality is unbelievably free (once you get the key code from their website - the link is on the key entry window).
I did install Macrium Reflect Free to compare. On a brief skim, it looks like it does the same thing, but I didn't bother to test it (ie. backup, create rescue disk, format my laptop then restore) as Paragon does all I want.
Updated on Jul 19, 2010
*Scheduled backups only work if the backup source (usually external hard drive) is connected, which of course can make this functionality limited.
*From memory, I believe that Macrium Reflect Free does not offer the same degree of features. -
"Great software, a little tricky to set up and maintain"
Version: Paragon Backup & Recovery Free Edition (32 bit) 10.1
Pros
Creates disk images or file backups. Good support for external and network drives. Ability to manually edit backup scripts.
Cons
Difficult to set up advanced backups. No automatic delete of old backups.
Summary
A great piece of free software with similar features compared to commercial solutions (e.g. Norton Ghost). However, I wanted monthly base images with daily incrementals but then I had to manually create the base image each month (or I just couldn't figure out how to set it up automatically). Also automatic delete of backups seems to be missing. If they fix this it will be configure and forget :-)

"Excellent for Free Drive Imaging Program!"
Version: Paragon Backup & Recovery Free Edition (32 bit) 10.1
Pros
Update: Now has Cyclic Backup so you can limit number of image backups automatically!
Cons
No Incremental Backup option in Cyclic Backup.
Summary
Terrific program! Does everything that a home user can reasonably ask for in a free imaging program. It will even delete old image backup files and limit their number if you use the Cyclic Backup option under the Wizards menu. This is NOT documented in the Help files, so you heard it here second--the CNET review makes mention of the Cyclic Backup option so I can't claim to have revealed this to the world ;)
I have also done a restore of my image file and it worked perfectly. I can't say if this will always be the case but it has worked as advertised, something not all of these imaging programs can boast of!

"Backed up with no errors. Restore failed."
Version: Paragon Backup & Recovery Free Edition (32 bit) 10.1
Pros
Nothing at all.
Cons
A backup program is like a fire extinguisher. IT MUST WORK WHEN NEEDED! This product is a dangerous disaster. Restore failed. Archive was "corrupted" and I was unable to recover any data. I was screwed. Lost data.

"Easy to install for a novice, still learning how to use"
Version: Paragon Backup & Recovery Free Edition (32 bit) 10.1
Pros
Can use either CD-RW or flashdrive for recovery media.
Cons
None. I would highly recommend this product to anybody.
Summary
I have created a recovery CD, and on a flashdrive, too. Soon as I get a bigger flashdrive, I'll create a full hardrive image of my C: drive, and I also have an smaller external drive, which I'll image, too. I will be doing differential backups weekly.
