    No, I just delete them on the disk (right click > Delete). Macrium is not as iffy as e.g. Norton Ghost that would make a big fuzz about missing images. And that is the beauty of full images (versus incrementals). You cannot really make a mistake.

    Macrium is great - worked for me every time. Doesn't have lots of extra functions, but for pure image and restore, it is the most efficient you can get.

    The Linux recovery image is only 6.5mb. The Bartpe plugin can be used instead if you are a lover of Bartpe.

    I have Paragon Drive Backup 10 Server Edition. It is an awesome product. It also includes the Paragon Adaptive Restore features ( which they have had for some time - others imaging companies are now following), and a lot more.

    I still use Macrium sometimes - you can't beat the efficiency.

    Oh thank you i thought it may be the case as i had a good look around but wondered if i was missing something.
    This is all very new to me, i had a play around with the windows system image yesterday and macrium today
    I am just trying to get familiar and comfortable with thing before i set up something permanent (It looks like i will go with Macrium, very simple and an impressive compression rate)
    Once again thank you for your help and the effort you put in to doing the tut for everyone

    No problem. Any time. After using several imaging products (including Paragon which I think was designed with servers in mind), I think Macrium is the most efficient for plain imaging. But some of the heavy duty ones (e.g. Ghost) have a lot more functions, e.g. cloning which is handy at times. But then you have to put up with all the overhead.

    I think like SIW2 said in one of his posts "i dont think a lot of people are aware of it", I myself had seen it mentioned by senior members but i thought it would be way over the top of my head but it is actually very simple
