I learn best with the old 'try it and see what happens' method. Still to try the files and folders backup and this is where Acronis left me slightly dazed.Īs for a 'how-to' book, well, Macrium has a 401 page user guide. I'm not a computer tec person myself but managed to delete Acronis and with the free version of Macrium I got my first full backup on a clean hard-drive without issue. The latest version of Relfect is supposed to be much faster at backing up. The author will also answer questions (I asked a question and he answered quickly). If you buy the printed book and register on the author's web site, you can download the pdf version for free. Then, if needed, I can restore the image or access it to extract file. I'm a pc dummy, so I bought this book which is well written and very helpful. Acronis True Image vs Macrium Reflect Mainly, I'm looking for the ability to boot from CD/USB and create an image of a hard drive, for backup or recovery purposes. Works great and I'm a happy camper with Reflect. About 2 years ago I paid for Macrium Reflect.
