I found the comments I was referring to regarding Macrium vs. Paragon. Though they are in the thread "Acronis vs Paragon backup software", the posts are speaking about Macrium problems.
Acronis vs Paragon backup software.
There read post #33-36 or so.
Some of it has to do with restoring to a smaller partition, something previously discussed here. But the line which really caught my eye was this:
"But irrespective of mismatched HDD sizes, Macrium Free apparently doesn't get it right... doesn't actually write a bootable and activatable system partition [Windows 7] so you have an exact copy of your prior setup. Good for backing up miscellaneous files and such, but not bootable/activated etc."
While I'm very familiar with Ghost and Acronis T.I., I'm a total "newbie" to Macrium (and for that matter to Paragon and EaseUS). As such, I found the above quote very troubling. So if moving to a smaller drive isn't it, what the heck is being said there?
