Thanks a lot for the opportunity to win in this great giveaway, @jasonX and Macrium Software for sponsoring this amazing product!
What are your positive and negative experiences with Macrium Reflect (free/paid versions) and what feature/s do you want to see included or improved in the next version build?"
Macrium Reflect is the most comprehensive backup solution for disk/partition imaging-restoration that is fast, reliable, secure and worry-free. It's also light, bloat-free and doesn't hog system resources.
Its best features include Rapid Delta Restore; an image is quickly restored back to the original disk, and having the flexibility to restore to a different disk that contains the same file system on it in any state, and Rapid Delta Clone; which enable regular clones to be viable and fast.
Another feature I really like and will definitely come in handy when I replace my old PC to a newer PC is the Macrium ReDeploy, by restoring an image to a another computer or even create VHD to virtualize the machine, simply called Physical to Virtual or P2V.
In my limited experience with Macrium Reflect Home, I've made rescue medias with WinPE and WinRE. Never had any issues with backing up and image restorations but I would say had some few bumps along the way. When trying out WinPE, it defaulted in advanced settings and couldn't return to normal default setting of WinRE. The only possible solution I could find is uninstall all components and reinstall again. Hope there is a workaround somewhere.
The one thing I can suggest for improvement on making partition backups, especially those PCs booting with UEFI systems, is having sort of a warning pop-up dialog box appearing during selection of C: partition or any other partitions, apart from automatically selected by Macrium (if the option is clicked "Create a backup of the partition(s) required to backup and restore Windows") after clicking Actions, and selecting "Image this partition only". A pop-up message may show something like "Seems you're trying to create a system backup to allow Windows recovery, but currently selected partition(s) does not include partitions necessary to achieve this..."
The reason for this is, an image containing C: partition only would be insufficient to safely restore a bootable UEFI system when into an completely empty drive at least without the hassle of manually creating partitioning and other loops.
Hoping to win a license, please count me in.
