From my standpoint it is the most reliable backup software I've ever used. It restores your complete system not just your data. Now they just need to fix the licensing issue which can be problematic particularly with the home version.

I've just returned from a holiday, and I remember that just before I left I heard of a new version of Macrium. I'll be looking into it over the next couple of days. I haven't read the specs so I don't know what changes were made, but I'll probably switch to the new version even if it's only available as a subscription product. I wouldn't want to be without the backups that Macrium Reflect provides.

The amount of use I have gotten out of this software is astounding. First of all, the free version works wonders. The paid versions works even better. Doesn't let you complete a clone unless it knows it's going to fully work. I am impressed by Macrium, and every technician in our shop trusts this software for clones and copies of HDD's.

The one time I needed it, it worked and paid for itself many times over.

It has saved my life so many times. I have two hard drives that each get Images of my C:Drive. Every other day it goes to a different drive. That way, I have an Image from every day and if a drive fails, I'm never more than one day out of date. When Windows or a program goes wonky, I don't waste much time diagnosing, I just reimage my C:Drive and within about 20-minutes I'm running perfectly again.
