What has everyone used with success for their main OS drive backups? Currently I have both a windows built in backup using the windows 7 backup tool and an ease todo free version backup of the same OS drive 1TB nvme to two identical enterprise 24TB drives. Plus I have created a boootable USB drive to boot off of in the event the OS drive fails.

For the two backups it's totaling 1.1TB I'm weary that this may be a waste of space to have two identical backups using two different solutions, curious what everyones thoughts are on this strategy and what they've used successfully or if I should be concerned at all about only having one backup solution in the event the OS drive fails before everything else. Perhaps ease todo drops the free version in the future and my backups are null or perhaps windows 7 backup tool is bunk since microsoft themselves stopped supporting it, thoughts?
