For just creating a bootdisk and doing a backup of an OS drive it's fine, but one of the features explicitly only in the paid versions is incremental backups. I have used Macrium Reflect in the past, it's free version. I tried a demo of the latest version on a new system and it loaded my Windows install with over a dozen background processes that start on boot and kept identifying perfectly valid software like Irfanview as critical malware despite just wanting to do a backup. I used the Windows application to backup my data drives, and burned a boot CD to boot into to backup my OS drive as I don't trust doing a backup of the OS drive while the system is running, even though some backup software claims it can do that.Īnyway, Acronis has really lost focus from what it used to be, bloating the backup application with anti-malware, antivirus, firewalls, and all sorts of other nonsense. and my question is about something I want to know if the product supports BEFORE I buy it. It's very hard to find any information on this subject, especially since Macrium's forums are only for people who have purchased the product. Just make sure to tag the post with the flair and give a little background info/context. On Fridays we'll allow posts that don't normally fit in the usual data-hoarding theme, including posts that would usually be removed by rule 4: “No memes or 'look at this '”
