At long last it's now LIVE!!!!!
‘What is your most favourite feature of 'Macrium Reflect Workstation software' ?’
Features I like best are:
(1) Macrium ReDeploy -- restore to dissimilar hardware. Have tried some that promised such but either it took more than the enough time to format the new hardware from zero or it did not work thus after wasting time went to formatting again. Even finding the appropriate drivers for the new hardware is a synch as it identifies it from the host system and not dependent on the floppy because it disregards it and goes directly to removable media if and when it does not find a matching driver. Some have that functionality but when it comes to the drivers even when the usb has the correct drivers it has trouble identifying it and searches for a floppy(nobody uses this anymore!)
(2) Raid Delta Restore (RDR) this thing is they gold one here! Restore to ANY disk no matter what disk you are using a new one or the current disk that you have as long asyou have the same file system on it. That incremental restore based solely on the file system changes from the backup image done and the disk selected to be restored upon. Doesn't matter if this is a new disk or the current disk. As long as the target file system is the same as that of the disk you wanna restore to or has been formatted to an NTFS file system. Macrium RDR will restore it based on that image and the NTFS file structure anlaysis.
Since my immersion to imaging I have used around 3-4 imaging applications (free and paid alike). Macrium (free) isn't the fastest on my usage experience(it is Acronis -- the size of the backup is also much smaller) but it never failed on me (yet) unlike the other ones I have used. There were two instances when I hope that ATI would solve my migration to a different machine when the old one that I was using back then suddenly would not run at all. Restoring to dissimilar hardware failed:(. I had to format again on the new machine. Some images I had (not only with ATI) were vetted and labeled OK-verified but when I wanted to restore it was corrupted. The added Macrium features are a very welcome addition to a long list of "wanna-haves" if you are a freeware user of Macrium. Of course you can't just rely on a "single" backup and imaging application. Choosing the best of the crop to use if key to anyone. If one fails on you then you can still have daylight. Please count me in for this giveaway
