How do you manage your Windows PC backups to the Synology boxes Den?
Mine should arrive tomorrow but I'd still be interested to learn what
tools to use and how?


I use Macrium Reflect 7 Home Edition
https://www.macrium.com/products/home/

You can have a 30 day free trial.

Previously I had used Acronis, but it had a number of fundamental
shortcomings, which the company showed no signs of addressing in
subsequent releases, and needed frequent manual intervention.

Reflect has been reasonably OK, and is very configurable. I have
it set up to email me confirmations of each backup. It does very
occasionally appear to crash windows, which is annoying, but
tolerable.
