Veeam Endpoint Backup works perfect.
Yup - I've used the Veeamzip product before - not sure this is the same thing or not.

I like Veeam free.

No, is the one from @Danp but for workstations works well.

Veeam Agent for Windows Free works great. I also like the Synology Active Backup if you happen to have a Synology NAS that’s capable.

I've got big customers using this as their entire backup system and they really like it. The "just buy an appliance and get everything" model is pretty nice.

Unrelated.

For me, the short list would be Veeam Agent for Windows Free, Duplicati, or the built in Windows Backup utilities (there are two now.) All three are free.

That depends. But I'm not a big "image backup" mechanism person generally. So I'd normally use the file one. But the "older" Windows 7 Backup that takes an image works quite well, too. Depends on your goals really.

Need a backup solution for one Windows workstation where backup target is local USB drive or possibly NAS.
Cloud backup isn't an option as the internet connection is too slow.Suggestions on what to use?
As others have said, +1 for Veeam.

Yeah, it tends to work so well that over the long run, you're screwed unless you do some custom upkeep.
