"Great comprehensive hard disk backup tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Macrium Backup & Restore?

Overall an excellent software backup software that can be used to easily create entire hard disk image partition backups or clone disks.

Macrium Reflect is pretty robust software package, easy to use and offer many options to backup, encrypt, verify images

The Macrium team also keeps the software up to date with many minor incremental releases.

The progress bar is also fairly accurate and updated in real-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful and Cloning Tool"
5/5
What do you like best about Macrium Backup & Restore?

My favorite component to Macrium was the Live CD environment cloning process. We used to rely on Clonezilla, but with modern SSD tech, it became a bit cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macrium Backup & Restore?

I initially did not like that differential backups were locked to the paid version of Reflect. I was able to talk my manager into upgrading to the paid version and the entire team is thankful we did. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macrium Backup & Restore?

Refused to clone drive. Refused to copy from origin drive which had flaws. If the origin drive was flawless, I would not be trying to move data from it to the new drive. Used W10 to just copy files over then CCleaner to wipe the old drive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use windows drive cloning at your fingertips"
5/5
What do you like best about Macrium Backup & Restore?

I like that you can clone a drive while the system is running. Use to be that you had to boot to something other than your operating system and hope it recognized all the devices. Macrium allows you to clone while windows is running. It is convenient and I have rarely had an issue other than when a drive I was copying is failing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A simple way to backup important business data."
5/5
What do you like best about Macrium Backup & Restore?

Macrium Reflect is a smart and manageable way to get data backed up. I got to use it to make a copy of my HDD and directly transfer it to my SDD and I lost nothing during this process. It is very fast in its work and enabled us to make a backup of my disk and restored it into a tiny one. It allowed compression and manipulation very conveniently. The backup scheduling feature is also available in it along with web access and encryption for stabler security. It also offers incremental and differential backups. I downloaded it without facing any difficulty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Macrium Backup & Restore?

There is nothing as such specific to be regarded as a disadvantage of it. As I have faced any difficulty from downloading it to making a backup of my hard drive and it is swift in its action too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
