- Update - It appears as though they do not offer the software for free any longer, but you can try it out for 30 days for free.
If you need to make an image backup of your Windows based computer just in case you need to revert back to that backup image, it's very easy to do with the Macrium Reflect software. You can create multiple images and also schedule the backups if needed. There are also backup templates such as incremental, differential and Grandfather, father, son etc. You can create the image on a hard disk or burn it to a CD\DVD. You can then restore your backup from the software if needed. There is also an option to mount your backup image as a drive letter so you can browse its contents.
Here is a link to the website where you can download Macrium Reflect trial and the pay for versions.

Useful and all key points explained thank for sharing
excellent tuto
Thank you
tHE first time i opened M R was purely by accident and the first thing i saw was the icons at the top left " Rescue" and etc. Interruped by phone call, shut down pc and now I can't open to that page again. I see many files listed in M R that have application extensions but its a guessing game. I thought the Reflect file, there are 2, one is application and the other PNG. I chose application and it opens directly to what your showing here in demo...but i do not see Restore or browse and etc. Can u tell me what file or folder would open up M R to that page or the Home page?
Thank you for the video. You demonstrated the case where you restored an image on a drive already in use and the data overwritten by it.
What if on the drive where I intend to restore the image, I’m having problems such as windows ones or just viruses?
Can I just first format the drive and only after the format, restore the image on it? Will in this case be created all the same partitions like on the image, or like on the drive itself as it was when creating the image?
I haven't tried that but I would think you could format the drive, install Windows and then the Macrium software and then restore your image.
A virus can infect the other partitions, not just C drive.
@@gtm5650 i’m talking about formatting all the hard drive and not only one partition, and after done that restore the image which is found on another memory and allegedly not with viruses.
@@almedogjurgji I know this is not answered but normally a restore program will restore all partitions as it repartitions the drive according to the restore image you are restoring.
You want to be using external media/drives to restore from. If Windows is dead, won't start up, you put in your bootable media that you created (DVD, flash drive, external drive) and if you have not already, enter the BIOS at power on, and designate the media input device as first to try to boot from, before your operating system drive, then let it boot. If prompted to "press any key to boot from (media device), do so. Then you will be in the simplified operating system which can run the restore (and some other) task, as you see in the above video in the restore phase. This way, you do not ever have to actually go into Windows. It is the best way if you want to be able to deal with a machine that can't even boot. Actually, as seldom as I have needed to do it, it is the only way I use, because it is the biggest hammer in my toolbox.
I am getting Error 9 with hdd and also with a new pendrive, not able to take backup in M R, Please help.
Can this be restored from "windows boot manager"? as i have this from on to a USB drive?
I have the same question
how to restore to another machine with no partition? USB boot disk?
Can you use this generated image to restore Windows on a different computer?
Maybe but you might have an issue if the hardware on the other computer is too different than the original so it's hard to say for sure what problems you might run into.
I don't think so as the computer (which the image is of) will have different drivers and the other computer will require different drivers to function and the computer will not boot because of incompatible drivers installed.
A newbie to Macrium and your video explains it quite clearly. I used Acronis and have set it up to run 2 sets of backup one after the other automatically. Creating my windows OS to an SSD inside my PC and the same image to an external usb drive (a backup of a backup - paranoid of redoing a whole new setup if PC crashes). In Acronis, after i start the 1st backup, i wait for 1 min and then start the 2nd backup and the 2nd backup shows Queued. After the 1st backup is done validating, it will start the queued backup, validates and shuts down my PC when backup i is done. Can this be done in Macrium backup, if yes, is there a documentation on this. Thank you.
One very important thing that surely many people wanna know is if a back-up image CAN BE RESTORED on A DIFFERENT drive, different brand, different size, different form factor, other than the drive originates from?! That's the most important and critical issue when the imaged drive is damaged beyond repair and
the sole remedy is just by having done a previous backup!😮
This is meant for more of a backup of the same computer in case something goes wrong. You should be able to use it for a different drive on the same computer but might have issues restoring your image to another computer with different hardware. If your goal is to transfer your OS and programs etc. to a new or larger drive, you should use a cloning program rather than making a backup image.

@@OnlineComputerTips OK, my question was a backup of particular drive to be restored on a different drive - different size, different brand, different form factor - BUT by no means on different computer, as well. I know already for a fact that a backup of a particular PC configuration will not be the exact match of another PC. I also know that even cloning a drive of a particular PC almost certainly will create problems while trying booting to a different PC and that since any different PC has its own hardware config that surely will be no match with the originating PC
@@vla2uv You should be able to use this with a different drive but of course you will need to get the computer up and running and first with the new drive and install the software on it so you can use it to restore the image. I have not tried this but don't see a reason why it wouldn't work.
@@OnlineComputerTips There's no need to get - the very same computer - up and running first if using one of the programs that has the option of enabling a recovery method on an USB stick prior undertaking the drive back-up operation. That back-up with the recovery tool would suffice to restore the backed-up image to a new drive be it a different size, different brand or different form factor respecting the condition of using it for the same PC and not for any other one, since it won't work! Three cloning and backing-up programs that have the recovery option tool is Aomei Backupper, Lazesoft Recovery Suite and Rescuezilla, but the best of them is Lazesoft Recovery Suite with its recovery tool! There is though one awful experience I had - that's why I know a lot of cloning and back-upping - wanting to clone a SATA m2 SSD to a NVME m2 SSD and my laptop ASUS ROG GL553VE Strix couldn't boot from the clonned drive by no means! The only solution was of a clean install of Win10 Pro operation system to the new SSD! And, in doing so I've tried all and everyone: Rescuezilla, Aomei Backuper, Lazesoft Recovery Suite Macrium Reflect, EaseUS Todo Backup and Acronis and none of them yielded a suitable result to boot from the cloned NVME m2 SSD!
Terrible tutorial, unless you already know what he's talking about.
