Disk space management: the ability to automatically delete older backups according to specified criteria.

Other features that are “nice”, but not absolutely required, include:

Individual file recovery: the ability to recover individual files from full disk images.

Scheduling: the ability to define and have backups happen automatically.

“ Bare metal” restore: the ability to restore a backup image to a completely empty hard disk.

Incremental backup: the ability to back up only those things that have changed since the previous backup.

Full- image backup: the ability to back up a complete image of an entire hard disk.

Here’s what I look for in a comprehensive backup package: If you’re backing up regularly, and especially if you’ve been through any of the restore procedures that we often talk about (restoring a failed hard drive, restoring individual files, etc.), I’d like to know what software you use.

(And the free version of Macrium, while still free, actually doesn’t meet all of my criteria mentioned below.) Some need a cheaper, yet still reliable, alternative. And indeed, I consider Reflect the Cadillac of backup programs.īut not everyone can afford a Cadillac. Yes, in theory, backups are important enough that it should be worth the price. The problem is that with the new version came a new price – a price I fear has moved Macrium Reflect out of the reach of many home users. I still like Reflect, use it myself, and consider it a reliable and trustworthy backup solution. They’ve added features, and changed the look of a few things, so I have an update to my Macrium Reflect book on the to-do list. I’ve installed it, and it’s working well. My recommended backup software, Macrium Reflect, was recently updated to version 6. If you are backing up, the tables have turned. My most recent book is yet another attempt to make backing up simpler: Just Do This: Back Up!īut I’m currently faced with a dilemma. Normally I’m pleading with you to back up, and throwing out recommendations for programs and techniques to help make it easier and more likely that you’ll do so.

This is somewhat backwards from my usual approach.
