--- Quote ---zpaqfranz: advanced multiversioned archiver, with HW acceleration and SFX (on Windows)

Swiss army knife for backup and disaster recovery, like 7z or RAR on steroids, with deduplicated "snapshots" (versions). Conceptually similar to the Mac time machine, but much more efficiently. zpaq 7.15 fork.

I use both of the Windows and Linux versions of zpaqfranz for incremenal backups. Strongly recomended.

John Z:
Thanks Vortex!

For windows the built-in Win7 image backup has been a life saver for me several times.  However for some quirky reason it failed for a while so I tried Paragon free version which worked OK but I never tried/needed to restore with it.

This looks much better so even though Win7 image backup works again, it is not incremental, so I'm going to look into this one.  Firm believer in system backups!  If you are happy with it I'm sure I will be too.

Hi John,

zpaqfranz is for file \ folder backup and not designed to do system backups. You would like to check wimlib for operatins system backups :

John Z:
Hi Vortex,

Well hmmmm, guess I missed that on the zpaqfranz web page document... Thanks
Still since I've been duping 'files' onto USB and external SSD drives it may simplify that.

Thanks for the WimLib tip.  I always do system image backup first then often separate 'files' copies between images since Win7 image is not useful for getting an isolated file un-archived.

Win10XPE, a customized Windows Preinstallation Environment with graphical interface is very suitable for offline system backups :
