What program should I use to create backups on my home PC?

Good day everyone! There is a PC with an internal hard drive and SSD. The system and all programs are installed on the SSD, on the internal hard drive there are only files that I would not like to lose. Tell me, please, what is the best way to backup the internal hard drive (~ 2.5TB of files)? I plan to backup myself on an existing 4TB external hard drive.
I know about Acronis True Image, but one thing is not clear to me. Suppose I made a backup of an absolutely healthy internal disk with it yesterday. And after a few days, the disk begins to crumble. A week later, according to the schedule, I make a backup again. Will Acronis warn me that some of the files I want to back up are corrupted?
Thanks in advance to everyone for the replies!

Never mind, use the standard Windows backup.
I'm using it, the flight is normal.
If a corrupted file is archived, it will always be possible to restore the latest uncorrupted version.

Any convenient for you.

If the disk is damaged, the files simply cannot be read, and the backup cannot be made.
If the files are damaged, the backup will be successful, and the damaged files will be written to the archive. No archiver can recognize file corruption.
In order to protect against file corruption, it is necessary to store file versions in a backup.
Use archiving systems that can do this. And customize them accordingly.
For example, I often use regular Windows archiving, more often the zpaq archiver.

you won't get anything. 2.5 TB cannot be backed up on a 4 TB screw.
at the time of creating a full backup, you will be bare-assed without a backup. you need to have at least 2 full backups.
