(And the free version of Macrium, while still free, actually doesn’t meet all of my criteria mentioned below.)

Some need a cheaper, yet still reliable, alternative. And indeed, I consider Reflect the Cadillac of backup programs.īut not everyone can afford a Cadillac. Yes, in theory, backups are important enough that it should be worth the price. The problem is that with the new version came a new price – a price I fear has moved Macrium Reflect out of the reach of many home users. I still like Reflect, use it myself, and consider it a reliable and trustworthy backup solution. They’ve added features, and changed the look of a few things, so I have an update to my Macrium Reflect book on the to-do list. I’ve installed it, and it’s working well. My recommended backup software, Macrium Reflect, was recently updated to version 6. If you are backing up, the tables have turned. My most recent book is yet another attempt to make backing up simpler: Just Do This: Back Up!īut I’m currently faced with a dilemma. Normally I’m pleading with you to back up, and throwing out recommendations for programs and techniques to help make it easier and more likely that you’ll do so. This is somewhat backwards from my usual approach.
