I use the free Paragon software from http://www.paragon-software.com/home/db-express/ It creates a mirror image backup of your disk drive and incremental backups thereafter.It also allows for restoring individual files as required or it can restore your whole system in case of a disk failure. For defragmenting I use a free program called SmartDefrag which runs in the background and keeps your pc fragment free by defragmenting while your pc is not busy: works like a charm!
