I have tried several, but one stands out - and it is even free:
Standalone Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows FREE
It has all features including bare metal recovery.

itried downloading it but it asks me to put in social media account data?
can i download it without this?
can i download it without this?
That's an option if you have, say, a LinkedIn account you wish to use.
Just register a Veeam account using your e-mail account. That's what I did.

so it cannot been downloaded without account ? then i don't want it
they keep making things more complex - in order to keep more control over us - what i dislike

Oh my. Get over it.
Veeam pass out for free the best backup software you can get for any money (yes), and you don't even want to pass a mail address in return. It doesn't make sense.

why must everybody have my data ? tell me - for FREE products mail adress i can accept, but not my password
It is not "your" password, it is a password - for a Veeam registration use a new password you don't use otherwise.
This is to prevent that not everyone else could sign on using your e-mail address.
If you have a LinkedIn or Microsoft account, use that. Veeam will never see your password, only that you have valid credentials.

so which one then
test several out - and see which one you like - "best" = different for everyone
I agree with nobus, check for yourself. I have one I like and use but that was for me the best of those I tested.
ps. Test a complete system backup and restore to an unformatted hard disk. I've had discs fail a few times and if you can't do that then making backups was wasting your time.

i suggest to try each one ( they usually have a freeware version) and see which one you feel comfortable with
