![]() Stable, Cheap (i.e FREE) and reliable - what more do you need from a Backup / Imaging program. This has only happened once to me - I think when the Anniversary edition of W10 came out with a whole slew of updates too - was fixed with a few days !!!!! ![]() Incidently when there IS a problem (very rare but can happen) if a W10- upgrade breaks it then Macrium seems to get a fix out pretty quickly. I don't know (or even care) how Acronis performs now as I've found Macrium FREE more than enough - and even for Linux provided you use EXT3/4 it will even handle the Linux backup / restore quite nicely too - doesn't quite work properly for Linux XFS partitions but for Windows Macrium seems to be the preferred choice of most members on these Forums with good reason. Was a long time user of Acronis (Paid version) until about 2012/2013 when they changed the GUI and made the whole thing hideously complicated with crazy activation schemes etc. I've used Acronis in the past to do this, but can Macrium handle this process? I have very limited experience with Macrium Reflect Free, and I have no need to use the software for "backup" purposes, in terms of backing up data or a running computer.Hi DeaconFrost Then, if needed, I can restore the image or access it to extract file. Mainly, I'm looking for the ability to boot from CD/USB and create an image of a hard drive, for backup or recovery purposes. I was toying with buying a copy of Acronis true Image now that it is on sale, but I figured I'd ask for some thoughts before doing so.
