    I gather it's free. I don't like having to install that APP center, and I just don't see what this app brings over the likes of Macrium IFW, DS Aoemei etc.

    USA still the best. But barely.
    Is this only for Gigabyte mobo owners?

    The download pages were enough to deter me. I bailed out.

    I used it briefly a few years ago. IIRC at the time I assumed it was largely an interface for Windows' built-in imaging. Have a feeling the hourly incremental images were slow, as if they were reverse incrementals same as Windows.

    Yes, it's free.
    SR2 can installed without the APP Center.
    The simplicity maybe?

    I weakened and installed it but it wouldn't run. Nothing.

    To me Imaging is one of the most critical functons I need. I prefer to rely on the old standby's.
