Backup software?

Many are crossgrading from Veeam to Acronis for VMware.

...and Nakivo.

I am a home user and have used the windows back up program for a few years now. I have just bought a 3 TB external seagate hard drive and have tried for over a week to get the back up to work. At best I get about half way and it then bombs out.

Could this be a hard drive issue? I have reformatted the HD?

I really don't want to pay USD 100 for a program when there is a free option that has worked for me for years.

I am on windows 7. I have a 2TB hard drive and my old back up was done on a 2 TB external HD but every few weeks I would have to delete the back up and start again as the external hard drive would get full, hence the upgrade to a 3TB HD

But seriously for Windows 7, doesn't it come with backup software? I know it's not the fastest around, but it is free and you can just leave it over night to image the entire PC.

Win 7 does. And so does Win8. Both come with imaging software as part of the OS.

FBackUp also a good product.

Is it doing incremental, differential or full backups each time? If one of the former how often does it consolidate them?

This is what I am using at present but there is a problem with my seagate 3TB external hard drive in that it can't do the system image - comes up with an I/O error and I can't get a fix for this
