I like the "Special" feature, which allow you to include/exclude specific files from any folder. I also like the "Events" feature, which can execute various "Before backup" events, like closing open programs that be running and "After backup" events, like shutting down the PC when backup is complete.

I have tried a lot of others, but Ghost seemed to do the best job and was easier to schedule backups and stay out of my way without slowing down the system.

However, I do make use of Dropbox for somethings, and after this I might start doing a bit more especially with some of my more critical files.
