Question Disk cloning software supporting NTFS, exFAT, ext4 and APFS.

[AlexS]

Up until now I've been using Acronis True Image for my backups, I'm sure it's fine for most Windows users, however it's become obvious it's no longer the right solution for me. Regardless I've come to regard True Image (at least the latest versions) to be buggy as hell if I ever want to do something outside the norm.

I've decided to call it time on True Image, there is just too much that can and does go wrong...

Does anybody know of any good backup software that will run on Windows or Ubuntu that is easy to use, where I can easily backup and restore NTFS, exFAT, ext4 and APFS partitions (this is an absolute requirement). Ideally I want to be able to recover via bootable media as well. Oh I want to run it on Windows 10 or Ubuntu.

Thanks.

Veeam has a Windows and Linux backup software that are both free.

The windows version won't be much good, the Linux version does everything except APFS.

Any other suggestions. Nothing will clone APFS I'm assuming unless it's running on Mac.

Macrium Reflect can do that.

It is a Windows application, but you can boot from a USB and clone/image/recover with that.

Basically the thing that will backup APFS are programs for MAC only.
