Macrium Reflect is a powerful drive and partition backup program for Microsoft Windows. Great if you want to pick a file or folder from the image. The last feature that deserves to be mentioned is the option to browse backup images in Windows Explorer as if they were normal partitions. The size of the backup on the hard disk was 29.4 Gigabytes afterwards.Īnother important step is the creation of a rescue disk to be able to recover the backups when it's necessary to do that. A backup of my Windows partition with 38 Gigabyte of data did not take longer than 18 minutes to create which is definitely fast not sure if it's the fastest software though. I tried it without restarting and received an error message but it worked fine after the first restart. It's also worth to note that the computer has to be restarted before the first backup can be started. The full edition of Macrium Reflect has a few features that the free does not have, especially incremental backups are worth to be mentioned. The automatic file size will use the file system of the partition to determine the size. The second option that you have allows you to set a maximum file size which can be set to automatic or user defined. Two additional options are noteworthy: the option to choose between an intelligent sector copy which will not copy the Windows Pagefile and Hibernation file, or an exact copy of the selected hard disk or partition. You have the choice between no, medium or high compression with medium being the default value. The backup can be compressed to save space which will in turn increase the time it takes to create the backup. The backups can be stored on another hard drive, network drive or optical drive which is probably not the best choice if the size of the data is bigger than ten or so Gigabytes. The program can backup partitions or entire hard disks even when Windows is running, which is definitely a nice to have feature. You can check out our review of versions 5, 6 and 7 of Macrium Reflect for a rundown on what is new and changed. Update: more recent versions of the backup software are also compatible with never versions of Windows.
Macrium Reflect is a disk imaging software for Windows XP, Windows Server and Windows Vista that's available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. A quick research showed that it was most likely due to the articles published at Lifehacker and Download Squad that once again (unintentionally of course) pushed an application on Delicious after publication. I honestly did not know about Macrium Reflect before when I spotted the entry on it on the Delicious hotlist.
