Ready to upgrade now? Click here to experience the benefits of powerful, extensive backup. This post is a list of just some of the ways you’re not protected with Macrium Reflect Free.
There are a number of ways that Reflect free doesn’t protect you to the same extent as the home edition. To put it another way, Macrium Reflect Free is great for basic backup - but it’s far from comprehensive. But while it is undoubtedly incredibly powerful, and can be an important line of defense against data loss, it does come with a number of limitations. Macrium Reflect Free is a great, simple, reliable way to backup everything that matters to you. If you’ve ever lost data - whether your whole system has crashed or you’ve simply just lost files and folders you thought you had buried somewhere on your machine, you’ll know only too well that backup can feel like a lifeline even if you hadn’t given it a second thought before. That counts.Backup, to paraphrase a well known joke, is a lot like oxygen: you don’t really notice it until it’s not there. We’ve been using it for seemingly forever, and it’s never let us down yet. If all you want to do is image your system or data, then Macrium Reflect Free 6 is a great way to do it. And much better than the six invoked by Acronis True Image. On the bright side, the free version of Reflect spawns only a single background process, down from the three that the pay versions create. Backup generally takes place during off hours or in the background, so we don’t lend performance a lot of weight in our evaluations. That’s about two minutes slower than any of the competition, though CPU usage was minimal. That might be nice, as Reflect Free 6 took just over nine minutes to perform our 115GB system backup. Macrium claims increased performance for the latest version 7, of which a free version is promised soon. PE allows driver injection (adding them at restore time), so you’re likely okay there anyway. It also lets you choose the drivers you want to install. Reflect Free supports both MBR and GPT disks (it was late to the GPT game), and it has a great boot media creator, which lets you change flavors of Windows PE to best suit the operating system being backed up. Several flavors of the Windows PE boot environment are supported by Reflect Free 6
