Look for the button that aptly says “Create a File or Folder Backup” and click it. After downloading the setup file and running it on your PC, you’ll need this registration code at some point during the installation.ĭuring our test, the installation was pretty slow, which was odd given the file size was relatively small (less than 200MB), but it could have been a network problem.Īfter installing the app, the first feature you should notice is creating a file or folder backup. You’ll need to input an email to which Macrium will send a unique registration code. First, head to the official website to download the setup file. Setting up Macrium Reflect is pretty easy. That counts.(Image credit: Macrium Software) Macrium Reflect: Features We’ve been using it for seemingly forever, and it’s never let us down yet. If all you want to do is image your system or data, then Macrium Reflect Free 6 is a great way to do it. And much better than the six invoked by Acronis True Image. On the bright side, the free version of Reflect spawns only a single background process, down from the three that the pay versions create. Backup generally takes place during off hours or in the background, so we don’t lend performance a lot of weight in our evaluations. That’s about two minutes slower than any of the competition, though CPU usage was minimal. That might be nice, as Reflect Free 6 took just over nine minutes to perform our 115GB system backup.
Macrium claims increased performance for the latest version 7, of which a free version is promised soon. PE allows driver injection (adding them at restore time), so you’re likely okay there anyway. It also lets you choose the drivers you want to install. Reflect Free supports both MBR and GPT disks (it was late to the GPT game), and it has a great boot media creator, which lets you change flavors of Windows PE to best suit the operating system being backed up. Several flavors of the Windows PE boot environment are supported by Reflect Free 6
