Macrium Reflect Download 7.0.0

Macrium Reflect is free an award-winning disk cloning and imaging solution. Protect your personal documents, photos, music, and e-mails. Upgrade your hard disk or try new operating systems in the safe knowledge that everything is securely saved in a recovered backup file.

It supports backup to local, network, and USB drives as well as burning to all DVD formats. This version is for non-commercial home use.

With Macrium Reflect you now have access to free disk imaging that enables you to create a backup of your hard drive. This means that in case your computer suddenly “dies”, you can always bring it back to life by restoring the disk image you previously created with it.

Of course, disk images don’t make sense if you store them on the same hard drive you’re copying, so you’ll need to use an extra storage device (external or not) or a networked drive to save your mirror image.

It is very easy to use because it lets you create images via an assistant that guides you through the whole process in just a few simple steps. What doesn’t seem that easy is the scheduled backup tool it works with XML template files and novice users will surely find it confusing.

If you care about the safety of your documents, take a moment to create a mirror image of your hard drive with it. It’s very easy to use and can really save your life! If you are looking for alternatives, we recommend you to try Acronis True Image and EaseUS Disk Copy.

The interface is easy to use and allows you to quickly select the disk that you want to back up and the location. You also have the option to analyze the partition in order to detect errors before creating the image.

Since backing up a large partition can take more than a few minutes you can automate the process by scheduling the operation.

If you need to only retrieve certain files from the image, the app can mount it as a virtual hard drive that you can browse in Windows Explorer. Additionally, the app can convert the image to a Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) that can be used with Windows Virtual PC.

Although casual users can find the app sufficient for their needs, network administrators and other advanced users might need additional options such as incremental backups that can be accessed by purchasing Macrium Reflect Standard Edition or other editions.
