"Reliable, Flexible Backups with Efficient Incrementals"
5/5
What do you like best about Macrium Backup & Restore?

Macrium Backup & Restore has worked well across our manufacturing-floor PCs and engineering workstations. Backups have been reliable, and the scheduling options are flexible enough to work around production hours. We especially appreciate being able to run frequent incremental backups without using excessive storage. Our recovery testing has been smooth, consistent, and predictable as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macrium Backup & Restore?

The interface feels a bit dated compared with newer backup platforms. From a functionality standpoint it works well, but the visual design could definitely use some updating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great single-user backups, but confusing management UI and licensing renewals"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Macrium Backup & Restore?

the software has a straightforward user interface for single users, the setup is fast and the value of being able to retrieve from backup is priceless. I like that files can be read pretty easily from the backup, it can be mounted as a drive for structural side by side retrieval. I like that versioning of backup is easy to follow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macrium Backup & Restore?

the management interface had seen revisions in development, making it confusing for user to follow, if they were to use it to mass-monitor multiple installations. Renew licensing needs are often unclear, and lost connection may require getting reset with the customer support, which is weirdly cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Macrium Backup & Restore Delivers Reliable, Low-Impact Recovery Every Time"
5/5
What do you like best about Macrium Backup & Restore?

What stands out about Macrium Backup & Restore is how consistently it handles recovery. We’ve tested it across multiple restore scenarios on control systems, and the results have been reliable every time. The image-based backups capture everything we need, including configurations and software dependencies, so restores are straightforward. The performance impact is minimal as well, which is especially important for these systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macrium Backup & Restore?

It would be helpful to have more simplified templates tailored to industrial use cases. Right now, setting everything up manually takes some time at the beginning, especially during the initial setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Backups with Intuitive Setup and Customization"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Macrium Backup & Restore?

MAcrium is straight forward on its usage, which makes it easy for anyone. We use it once a month for our regular monthly backups. It was easy to get going - just install and away you go. The number of features offered are perfect for us, especially when creating plans and the additional customisation options when creating backup naming conventions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macrium Backup & Restore?

I'm not sure. There isn't one major thing I don't like about it. A few options and settings here and there that I think could be improved, but nothing I'd say I totally dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Macrium Reflect’s Rescue Disk ISO Has Saved Us Many Times - BUY IT"
5/5
What do you like best about Macrium Backup & Restore?

So, we have been using Macrium Reflect from v6 and it has saved our virtual bacon many times. The Rescue Disk ISO has been a godsend to boot inattentive servers and workstations and being able to bypass rights and assign drive letters for partitions inside the image is insanely helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macrium Backup & Restore?

Had a recent hiccup with exploring a ReFS image partition but other than that (and 98% of users will never encounter it) all has been sunshine and roses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the ease of backup and restore with Macrium Backup & Restore, along with the auto verification after backup. The initial setup was very smooth for me, which made getting started quite simple.

"Macrium is a very useful and helpful product"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Macrium Backup & Restore?

I love how easy Macrium Backup and Restore is to use. It can also be very easy to put in place during first implementation. I have not had to use customer support very much but my other co workers have had nothing terrible to say. We as a company also use it very often through our many clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macrium Backup & Restore?

I think my only dislike or downside that I can think of is the lack of a cloud backup. It is not detrimental to what we do but it would be something very nice to have the access to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
