My favorite disk imaging software was upgraded to v7 - the only real difference is an updated engine that can be REALLY fast, especially with incremental backups.

I've restored many times using v6 flawlessly - it saved my hide more than once when Windows updates were borking my Win10 install for several months. Can't recommend it enough. With a 10% off coupon I found online, my upgrade price was < $21 with tax.

It's a local backup solution, however. I then backup from my NAS images to Amazon Cloud Drive using Arq. Arq is pretty great in its own right, but it isn't an imaging utility - just files.

I love using Macrium Reflect free version. It didn't give any issues. But I'm not sure if should I pay for full version. Is there any difference between the free and full? As far as I know is full one offers the dissimilar hardware that can be restored for example, different GPU. Select the driver then add it to the restore image file.

Here's more differences, if any matter:
Incremental Images
Delta Incremental Indexing
File & folder backup
File & folder masks
Dynamic disk support
AES Encryption
Password protection

I work from home in my current job, often on my PC (also use a MacBook Pro laptop). I want my computer backed up regularly, and the incremental is super fast. I also encrypt my backups since there's work stuff on there.

If all you need is an occasional full disk backup.... stick with free for sure.
 
I'm a casual user and this software is probably overkill (but, hey, data backup!). It's largely worked fine for me, though the faster incremental backups only work if your computer isn't restarted in the meantime (then they have to start over). There's definitely some "new software smell", as in some minor bugs, that they're squashing - bugs that haven't made a difference for me one way or another.
