Image your system with free Macrium

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. But perhaps I DO belong right here, after all! During my search on this forum for info from another question elsewhere, I discovered that WIN 7's Restore may NOT always work as its supposed to. So, my best bet is to have a complete image OFF the computer, like on an external HD, a website facility or on DVDs. Perhaps Macrium is what I want to use. I've seen it mentioned in other areas on here, soooo . thanks for ALL the info! Havvagudden!

I can't install this. I run the reflect_setup_free installer, click next to extract and install, it extracts and then disappears. It's process stays running with 0% cpu usage.

What would normally be running with approx 0% cpu is the macrium mounting service.
Normally you should have a desktop icon or a folder entry "Macrium" under programs.
Also look under C:\program files for a 64 bit OS or c:\program files (x86) and find Reflect.exe.
If you can't find these it hasn't installed properly and try again if you haven't already.

glennc;1606298Yeap, looked there also, no luck. Sent email to Macrium for clarification. Hopefully I am just unable to find it. Oh well! Thanks again!

Did you ever get a response?

I looked into this myself as I didn't want to buy yet ANOTHER license, so I installed the FREE version on a PC. As I am use to automatically verifying the backup in the paid version, I went to set the same option in the FREE version.

And, yep -- it's NOT there.

So, from what I can see, setting an option to automatically verify the backup after it's been created is not included in the FREE version.

Howdy,
No I haven't gotten any response from Macrium as yet. Will have to see......

I have the free version of Macrium and do have the verify option.

Howdy essenbe,
I did also, until I upgraded it to version 5. Now there appears to only be a verify on restore feature!!!!
