I have been using Macrium Reflect Free for imaging, but I have used Paragon in the past. I was curious to try the new 2014 version, but was quite surprised that it does not seem to have any option to verify the archive after creating it. Isn't this a rather basic requirement, or is it just taken for granted that the archive will not be corrupted?
I haven´t used B&R Free, but the options to verify the images should be present, as before. As the interface is different, it´s necessary to browse for them. In the program I use, Hard Disk Manager, it´s possible to verify images created in the PBF format, or as VD containers.
