Macrium Reflect or Windows Backup?

In terms of ease of use for Macrium:

Click 1


Click 2


You browse to your destination. Ideally it should be an external drive and you can keep doing this until your external drive is full. I can't think of anything much easier.

Hi,
I haven't seen a need to go farther than reflect personally it actually works so that is good enough for me :)

Thanks again, folks. I've decided that MR is definitely the best on offer.

Which versions are you people using?

6? 7? Free? Paid?

I'm still on 6 (paid). I didn't see any changes in 7 that was of benefit to me.

I use Aomei, it works very well.

I used to use macrium, back when it was pretty much the only free imaging solution. That was in the Vista days. I started the whole popularization of it on Vista Forums, which then spread to this forum.

Macrium has issues and is not the most suitable for me.

Hi,
V6 free works just fine :)

Ditto.
I still use V5 on one PC V6 on another. No problems with V5 or V6.
If you're starting from scratch you would use V6 (free). Decide later if you want the added features of the paid version - I don't need them.

I think I know of one or two MR issues? Would you mind starting a new thread so that you can update me on what you found out awhile back, and I can update you on what I am finding during my backup and restoring.
