I'm running Windows 11 and I'm on the hunt for a reliable, free or inexpensive program to create disk images for backing up my laptop. I've read that Macrium Reflect used to be a popular choice, but it seems like they've discontinued their free version. Since I've never backed up a PC before, I want to make sure I can exclude specific folders from the backup, like huge video game installs, to save on both space and time. Any recommendations?

Just a heads up, Macrium Reflect X Home is about $39.99 for a year if you're considering that option. If you're looking for something cheaper, the community has mentioned a few alternatives you might like.
I've heard good things about Veeam. They have a free version called Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows 6 that you might want to check out. It's pretty reliable for backups.
You can still grab Macrium Reflect Free from sites like MajorGeeks. It's really user-friendly, and you can easily schedule your backups. Other options you can look at are Hasleo and Disk Genius - they have some unique features too. Acronis also has a free version available.
