Reflect Free Edition

Macrium Reflect Free allows you to back up your entire computer and schedule backups. For a free program, you get incredibly powerful software that allows you to create effective backups.
www.macrium.com www.macrium.com

Macrium Reflect User Guide...

Macrium Notes:
1. A full OS image backup will be approx. 1/2 the size of the total "used space" on the C:\ drive.
2. Backing up takes about 75 seconds for every 20GB of "used space" on the C:\ drive.

@Ghot as an expert on Macrium Reflect, can I ask you if the read/write speed is faster on the paid version than the free version? Thanks

Click to expand...

I'm not an expert on Macrium. I "only" use it for full backups.
But... the read/write speed is exactly the same as the free v7, I used to run.

I'm going by how long it takes to make a backup.
For the same amount of data... the time for a full backup hasn't changed since I switched to the paid v8.

It depends on what you are doing.

1) creating an image backup - no
2) cloning to a blank drive - no
3) cloning to an existing clone (provided no changes to partitions and not too many changes) - yes Rapid Delta Cloning updates by difference
4) restoring to blank drive - no
5) restoring to an existing installation (provided no changes to partitions and not too many changes) - yes Rapid Delta Restore restores by difference - time is amazingly fast - the paid version is worth it just for that alone!

Apart from the Rapid Delta features, Paramount do not artificially hamstring the free version.

No there should be no difference. There sre however s couple of features in the paid version that can speed up s backup or a restore.

For backing up there is Changed Block Tracker which can speed up subsequent incrementals or differentials.

For a restore there is Rapid Delta Restore
