Macrium Reflect Free ...I'm in :-)
Sorry, it's me again!
I started my Macrium imaging experience today with the Tecra R840 laptop (Win7 Pro 64-bit).
1- After installation, I created the Rescue disc with sucess :)
(I already had the 1.7 GB WAIK stored in one of my USB 3.0 external hdd, so it was done in a breeze. But...I still do not understand what is the WAIK!!! There was an option to delete the WAIK after the disc creation...I do not checked that!)
2- I imaged my entire SSD to one of my external USB 3.0 hdd (used only for backup images) (see pic) (70.4 GB in 11 minutes and the resulting image file occupied only 50% of that :)).
Everything occured with no trouble at all and very friendly :).
If anyone could answer these questions I would appreciate:
a- I imaged to a folder that I created (named "MacriumReflect Images) in my external hdd. Is this ok, since with windows backup I need to image directly to the root directory of the hdd ?
b- Instead of a DVD could I create a USB flash rescue bootable media?
c- Was everything in my laptop imaged?
d- In a worst scenario case (almost) like I cannot boot from windows, neither in safe mode, how can I restore my laptop to a previous imaged state?
e- I saw (via autoruns) that a service was created "ReflectService.exe" ! Is this necessary for...? What will happen if I disabled it?
f- May I backup my images? I mean, may I copy/paste the image for another external hdd just in case?
Thanks a lot for reading this! I will appreciate any comments :)
Cheers,
paulo
