Anyone know of any user friendly, FOSS, backup programs that work on Windows? If they were cross-platform that would be a bonus. Asking for a friend (no really, a family member)

Lots of good recommendations here!
For user friendly software Veeam Endpoint, Synology Active Backup, and Duplicati would be my top 3. They all let you restore easily with a GUI that is easy to navigate, support email notifications natively for failures/warnings, and support VSS on windows without external scripts.
Kopia, Restic, and similar open source projects also work well on a technical level, but are about the farthest thing from user friendly as they require custom scripting to perform VSS snapshots before backup and send notifications after, and are not very easy to use for restoring files.
