#Acronis true image wd edition 2018 full

I once bought the full ATI version but was given a full refund a month or so later when I asked why they had ditched its interoperability with Windows system images that I had previously found useful. I have tried Macrium Reflect as an experiment but I did not find any additional capabilities that I would, in practice, make use of.

Doing so only makes any difference on a very old Windows 10 computer that has an awkward hardware configuration.

I use a trial version of ATI every couple of years to make a new ATI boot disk that is more reliable than those made by the free versions. Like anybody else, I can use the ATI forum & knowledgebase as well as the Seagate DiscWizard knowledgebase. I am not entitled to support but the only time I needed their help I got it anyway. I can only make full images not incrementals or differentials.

The free versions are generally about 2 years behind the latest ones. It can even just be a USB-connected external drive but cannot just be an SD card.

The free versions only work if a WD drive is connected. Of course there's no one size fits all on Backup / archiving strategy - what's important is you DO take backups even if it's the poor mans's choice by simply using Windows / File explorerįinally to answer the original question - the only time Macrium has failed for me was due to defective hardware rather than the program itself - so yes I do trust Macrium - hardware is another matter though !!!!įWIW, I have been using the free sawn-off versions of ATI for several years and am perfectly happy with them. I then send the Macrium backup to the NAS which eventually gets migrated to external HDD so always more than 1 recovery file available.

I back up the OS daily and of course before any major updates / software installs. I don't need incrementals / differentials so Free Macrium on Windows machines is 100% perfect for me. On windows clients - always separate OS from rest of data so you can just back up OS + installed applications quickly - often in around 10 mins with decent SSD and even a modest CPU.ĭata from Windows clients I always send to my NAS using rsysnc (graphical version if you want to do it manually - grsync) and once that backup has completed 2nd one runs to external USB 3 HDD. I know on a Windows Forum using Linux stuff is or can be a problem for a lot of members but this post is primarily redirected to those who have things like NAS servers. I check to verify the backups every so often.įor Differentials I simply use rsync on my NAS server -on the target HDD it just re-copies any files that have been changed since the last time. The storage is a Seagate 5 TB, so I guess I'm good. JimboI have Macrium set up to do a full backup once a week and differentials every day. It's best to have more than one - and as I pointed out earlier those who have NAS type systems should back those up as well - large capacity HDD space is cheap these days - for data backup you don't need mega fast disks either -those small 4TB WD pocket sized self powered passport drives are ideal for that purpose - connect via USB3 still acceptable performance although if using 2 or 3 at the same time it's best to connect them via a powered hub. I'm sure about 70% of Windows problems could be fixed if people backed up their systems regularly.Īlso folks DO test a restore from time to time - it's no good taking backups for Donkey's Years and then you need a restore and it fails - might be simply due to backup media has become defective or whatever. Whatever you use you can never have too much backup.
