Macrium Reflect Free Edition 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. How can the answer be improved?
I replaced Acronis with the free Reflect version either per this forum or the Win7 forum earlier this year, and haven't looked back since.
I received an offer email from Macrium regarding the Home edition and saw a few abilities that might make 'paid' sense.
Although I haven't had the need for restoring a separate file/folder with Macrium, I did on several occasions with Acronis. As you know, the process involved mounting the image as a virtual drive then using explorer to copy/paste whatever older data to your current working drive. File and Folder backup is one possible reason to upgrade.
I'm not sure that what Macrium calls Item level recovery isn't the same as above?
I'm also not sure what is meant by SuperRapid Delta restore in relative time terms to the free version's restore?
I don't get 'Restoring an image to dissimilar hardware'. I always thought as long as the target drive was no smaller than the image source, imaging software didn't care what drive or what machine is the target?
Also, if anyone has a bit of pertinent additional information I'd be glad to hear.
