When I boot my laptop with both hard drives mounted, the secondary (cloned) drive is enumerated as Disk0 and the primary (system) drive is enumerated as Disk1.
Oh, one small complaint about Macrium (and, to be fair, my BIOS and maybe Windows 7). Macrium is awsome, but I still have a soft spot in my heart for xxclone. I don’t remember if it was the 64-bit or the GPT or both that was the problem, but on older systems it was fast and reliable, and the paid version (with “incremental” updating) was reasonably priced.

I managed to hold on to it through 32-bit Windows 7 on an MBR drive, but the last time I tried it, it didn’t work on 64-bit Windows 7 on a GPT drive. The initial clone could take quite a while, but once that was done, updating the cloned backups was very fast indeed. It was file-based and didn’t do imaging, just boot-enabling and copying. I must say, an older program called xxclone used to be killer for making and maintaining bootable clones of system drives. Well, and maybe if got a USB 3.0 ExpressCard, too, although they don’t seem to get stellar reviews. If Macrium 6 Free’s differential imaging is reliable, I might be inclined to start imaging more regularly. It took 7.8 hours, and that was when I had considerably less data. I also use - make that used, once - Macrium to image my system/data drive to an external backup drive on a USB 2.0 port. Based on my experience cloning a faster computer (SATA III, 7200RPM drives, much more powerful CPU), they would take roughly half that time on a modern computer. My laptop is seven years old (SATA I) and I have a lot of data on a slowish drive (~1TB on a 2TB, 5400 RPM drive), and my clonings currently take around 4.25 hours.

I use Macrium Reflect 5 Free on my laptop to clone my system/data drive to a secondary drive (in a multipurpose bay) once a month, before Patch Tuesday. Some users may find it useful as it may speed up the job creation process.Ĭheck out our review of Macrium Reflect 5 for additional information about the backup software. The backup plan template on the other hand is limited to a single plan. The introduction of differential images in the free version improve it a lot as it provides free users with options to save storage space and time when backups care created.Īuto-verification is another important feature that improves the program further as it makes sure that the backup image is not corrupt or erroneous in other ways.

This adds a verification level to the job but prolongs the entire process. The backup program verifies the integrity of backups right after they have been created on the system.

You may still modify the selection, for instance to change when full or differential backup jobs run or for how long backups are kept before they are deleted automatically.Ī click on advanced options on the same page lists additional preferences including the new auto verification option of Macrium Reflect 6.
A job consists of a schedule and retention rules that it defines automatically.
