Hello everyone,

I have been searching for about a month for a reliable program to backup my system, data and clone my drive.
I had Acronis 2009 a long time ago but it doesn't work with win7 and acronis 2013 has a lot of bad reviews. It seems everything I research has bad reviews. Even Ghost has bad reviews.
I don't mind spending money on the software as long as it isn't full of bugs and works reliably.
I also prefer a program that saves the data exactly the way it looks in the windows tree. I really don't like backup files that have to be opened by their parent program.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I'm using Acronis 2013 on Windows 8 and it works fine, no problems at all. The backup layout is identical to the source so it's simple to find specific files or folders.

Macrium Reflect Free is also good.
