Discussion No more Macrium Reflect free.

Adding a forever license for todo is $41.00. I believe it is $94.00 for a licensed version of Maricum.

$79.99, as noted in post #2 above.

You keep putting up all these supposed roadblocks and limitations of Macrium. Which are all, so far, false.
Stating that Macrium lacks Incremental Imaging is laughable.

The other day, I did some deep research into Acronis TrueImage, Minitool Backup, Minitool PartitionWizard, Aomei Backupper...
The free versions, where they exist, all have major limitations.
Now looking at Easeus ToDo, the same.

The paid versions of all those, incl Macrium, are very very much similar in their feature set. And similar sort of prices.
And yes, Easeus ToDo is less expensive.

If you have lifetime licenses for the tools you have and use, great. Continue on.
I have the same for Macrium.

I was researching this for a theoretical new system and license.

Sounds interesting. When software works well for me. I try to hang on to it.

For those who like taking a complete image of the C: drive for a backup (vice a clone, which requires a drive equal to or larger in size for many /most software solutions), it would be hard to find an easier to use solution than absolutely free Rescuezilla. (Imaging compresses and saves only utilized space, vice useless copying of blank space which occurs in most cloning)

(Just imaged my own Win10 install from 2TB 990 Pro, w/ 320 GB used space, onto a external USB 1 TB hard drive, which took about 50 minutes due to the slow USB 5400 rpm destination drive; looking forward to seeing how fast it can be done with a 960 EVO stuck in a USB3.0/NVME adapter, capable of 800+ MB/sec reads/writes via USB3.0, and 1000+MB/sec via USB3.1/USB-C/10 Gbps. Edit: For some odd reason, the imaging process seemed barely faster, even with NVME/USB3.1 connected storage,...; curious! )

Edit: For those that like Acronis....Not sure if/when Acronis will disable the free True Image for owners of an attached WD or Crucial drive/SSD, but as of a week ago, it was still downloadable. The WD or Crucial drive need not be the source or destination, but must simply be detected upon the application being launched
