Acronis True Image works well for me. Scheduling with notifications of success/failure. You can backup locally to whatever windows can attach to or to a cloud.

I've used to restore twice: same machine and new machine. Worked without an issue once the USB boot is created.

I think the cost is reasonable for 5 workstations.

Same here. I've set it to back up each night to the NAS locally and to their cloud.

Had a SSD die on me a few years ago, the primary disk. With no warning it just bricked itself. Thanks to Acronis my computer was running again less than an hour later.

Have also used it to restore documents and similar I accidentally deleted.

Another nice feature they have is their malware protection service. It detects programs modifying a large number of files in a relatively short amount of time, blocks them until you say if it's ok or not.
