Backups of partitions and full copying of the system with all data and settings.
Reinstalling the system is not the longest process. Installation of drivers and programs takes much longer. To save yourself unnecessary work after reinstalling Windows or replacing the hard drive, create system backups using Macrium Reflect.
The program can be used for free by choosing the Free license when downloading. When you start Macrium Reflect for the first time, it prompts you to create a bootable disc that can be burned to CD / DVD or USB stick. It comes in handy if Windows stops loading.
Creating a bootable disk, backing up and performing other operations is not difficult due to the user-friendly interface and a large number of prompts.
The program has two modes of operation:
- Disk cloning.
- Partition reservation.
Cloning means the complete transfer of the contents of a disk, including the main Windows partition, to another drive. This mode is useful when replacing a device: for example, if you decide to install an SSD instead of an HDD, keeping all programs and settings.
Reservation is the creation of images of the system or user partitions. The backup can be performed to a free partition on the same disk. To create backup copies of files and individual folders, you need to purchase a Home license or another paid edition.
In order not to forget to make backups manually, you can set up a schedule. When creating a backup copy on a schedule, it is possible to set the data replacement mode. For example, only those files that have changed since the last backup will be taken into account.
