What Backup Imaging software do you use?

Macrium. Why? Because it is most reliable software.

 

Hello,

I have just made the change to AXTM/AX64 as my primary imaging solution. Great new software!

 

I'm now using Windows Built-in imaging software...So far, So good.

 

O&O DiskImage

 

I personally repy on R-Drive Image which has a Linux boot disk, so I fear the drive letters are different. But it is excellent and reliable so I stick with it.

 

I am now running the recently conceived imaging/snapshot program called AX64 Time Machine final release V1.1996. It has proved to be awesome. Check it out here. http://ax64.com/#!prettyPhoto

 

It's no longer a beta version I guess ?

Oh I still can vote now? =V

Previously I used Macrium Reflect Free, but it failed to restore my image. Never trust any 3rd party backup tool ever since. Then I tried Windows 7 built-in backup tool. Never failed, very easy to use. I don't need incremental backup anyway so it's enough for me.

 

I also use AX64 Time Machine. I used to use Windows Backup but switched to it because I like having backups that are more recent so that way I won't loose as much if I ever have to restore.

 

If only you knew... They use the same VSS feature of Windows.

 

I actually use 3 programs - Easeus Todo - Macrium Reflect and Paragon Backup and Restore.
I run weekly image backups to my 3 external HDDs.

(I voted 'Other' as couldn't select all 3 on the Poll)

 

I didn't know that, thanks.

Still, I much prefer the built-in backup. At least I know it works.

 

Nice, redundancy!

 

Yep – I had already been using E.T and Paragon B & R ( I initially had difficulty trying to make sense of the Linux based Paragon recovery CD) – so I installed Macrium Reflect as a fallback ( I then had issues with it's Linux recovery CD 'seeing' my external HDDs!)
Anyway, I finally sorted out these problems so that when I installed an SSD, I ended up using my discarded 'spinner' drive as a third storage device.

 

I use Image for Windows/Image for DOS/Image for Linux.

 

Now it's Parted Magic's Clonezilla, which conveniently includes TrueCrypt. My lack of drivers fear was unfounded.

Also AX64 Time Machine for snapshots within Windows.

 

Drive Snapshot of course.

 

I use Macrium Reflect Pro and I Backup on a USB external Hard drive. I wonder of all the people who use Macrium Reflect How many use Macrium Reflect Free and How many use Macrium Reflect standard or Macrium Reflect Pro.

 

Macrium Reflect Standard is my other imaging app. I also use AX64TM.

 

debating between True Image 2013 or Macrium Reflect. Will be backing up to my Synology NAS

 

I finally got around to purchasing Macrium Reflect Standard Edition, installing it on three computers, and learning enough about it to get me off and running with it.
I created rescue media, added the boot recovery option, created full back up images for all three computers and then proceeded to perform a recovery operation on two HDs, even though I was not in an emergency situation. I figure the best validation of an image is to actually use it in a recovery.
My working impression of Macrium Reflect? Outstanding! So much faster in all aspects than Acronis, and the rescue media worked on different operating systems and machines. I am very confident with this program.

 

Here's a little known fact about the Macrium boot media. Take a USB key and go create a boot media from all your machines on the same USB key. Macrium will accumulate all the drivers of all your machines on the same key. So you'll end up with one USB key with all the proper drivers for all your machines. One ultimate recovery USB key.

As long as they're all on the same WinPE version (3.1 or 4.0).
