So now you all have me a bit concerned.

What kind of trouble have you experienced?

I have had to restore disks after installing bad software. But that's a different story.

So now I need to know what is the best of the best.

If You have an older version of Acronis then probably you are ok, my version was 2010 but no longer works on windows 10, I believe Noel has said that he uses 2015 so all seems well up to that version.

I upgraded to 2018 and the actual desktop version was totally confusing to me, as I like to try different things with software, the boot rescue cd was ok.

Its just that nowadays some backup software wants to be a ransomware protector as well and I don't like the latest Acronis GUI either.

Macrium Reflect will do all you want in its free version, backup your drives etc.

I use it instead of Acronis now but might do an occasional backup with the Acronis 2018 boot disk to be one the safe side (having two copies from different software providers) though the Acronis program is deleted from the computer.
