Since I upgraded my laptop, it full backs up my OS + apps C drive (around 50 GB) in 1 minute to my NVME drive using Macrium Reflect Home.
I only ever keep last 3 backups to save space.
I find incrementals now save hardly any time anymore, so I have pretty much stopped using them.
For reasons I cannot fully explain, Macrium Reflect Home now backups much faster than any other package I have recently tested on new laptop (Hasleo, Aomei, Easeus) which take around 2+ minutes.
As an aside, I double checked the MRH backup was sound using Macrium Viboot.
I think the reason MRH backups are much faster is because my more powerful I9 CPU handles the MRH multithreading much better (free version does not have multi-threading). I do not know if the other packages use multi-threading.
