Until recently i was using Macrium Free for weekly imaging, and GFI Home (free) for daily backup, but just started using Paragon Backup & Recovery™ 10 Home Special Edition (from a giveaway) for both.

Paragon has an "unmount" error reported at wilderssecurity.com...do you encounter it?
Macrium Reflect free or paid is very good compared to Paragon.
ShadowProtect Desktop is the one the best and highly reliable and excellent backup IMHO, too bad it's way to expensive for home users(since their primary market is aimed at small-big businesses) and also for every new update the price is same
One should always backup if possible,I lost a Seagate and a Western Digital in 10 weeks
They did go bad.
I'm strongly considering buying a Caviar Black 500gig to replace it.Is anyone here using this type of hdd?

I have the following:
WD-MyBook Essential - 1Tb- bought in Sep-08, still working good. Used daily
WD-Elements - 2Tb- bought in Jan-11, working good. Not used much
I do backup via:
Acronis True Image 11 Home - once a month or if there is any major changes after that.
Genie9 Professional 1.5 - backup every week manually.
These are on separate dedicated drives ( 1 tb Western Digital Caviar)
