The poster who said you need a bigger hard drive to put your image on was right if you do a snapshot image, which is a complete clone of the original drive. But Macrium Reflect will do compressed images that fit into an amazingly small folder. I bought a pocket drive for my 500 Gb system hard drive backups, and it was 650 Gbs. But I've hardly scratched the capacity of it, and I have several types of backups on it already! If you select XML option, it can be restored with a click!

You can do incremental image backups with Macrium, but I didn't see if you had to pay for Reflect to get it. The website says it has file and folder masks and differential and incremental backup ability as a core feature(many others as well). To me this means FREE!
