Former ATI user here. I switched since Acronis no longer offers a perpetual option. I perform all my backups in the WinPE environment and ATI is considerably faster, including image verification, when doing a full backup. Aside from that, my Macrium backups have been smooth and features are comparable. I like the option of being able to consolidate incremental backup files into a full backup, which ATI lacked.

Some advanced backup options like the "incremental forever/synthetic full backup" and intra daily backups with stealth mode. Changed block tracking for faster backups. Encryption for backups. I think some additional recovery options like bare metal restore to different hardware as well. Of course you also get support.

I was curious about this as well.

Quote :
Macrium Reflect licenses are perpetual: they do not have an expiry date or require an annual renewal.

Macrium Reflect v8 Home Edition, Workstation, Server, and Server Plus for Exchange and SQL are licensed per machine - each PC must have its own licensed copy of Macrium Reflect installed.

You may only transfer a Macrium license to another PC if it is a replacement for the original machine (due to hardware failure, for example).
What they don't tell you is that you can't upgrade to the next version without paying again.

They keep sucking features out of the free version.

At this point the free one is okay for backing up from and restoring to the same system. Also okay to put an image on a new drive.

Not so good for shrinking a backup to a smaller disk, fiddling about with scheduled backups and the like. You need the paid one for a lot of what the free one used to have.

I get free acronis with nearly every drive that I buy, even external cases. I have a $10 sabrent external case with a drive backing up all of my systems, using their free acronis that just checks for any sabrent drive or enclosure. Same with my new Acer gen 4 predator drive.

Great price I guess if you don't want to play games to do the basics for free.

Windows backup and file history are rarely used, but not that bad as another option that comes included with the OS. Windows 11 REALLY tries to steer you away from the image backup options brought with windows 7. Even trying to find it in settings will toss you into a Bing search for it, and no results.

Be careful with Macrium. I have used it twice. First time it made an unrecoverable backup. Second time it messed up my windows installation.

It really is not straightforward to use and can mess up your backups/ssd transfers
For what its worth, I had the same problem with acronis a few years ago.

Where I found out that it can back up a problem drive just fine, and then when you wipe it and go to restore, you get messages that the backup wasn't any good because the drive you backed it up from was problematic. Not really the time to tell ya that, be nice if that happened when you were backing up?

Did that with my girlfriends daughters computer. I backed it up, replaced the drive after wiping it and finding it defective, and then it wouldn't restore anything from the backup.

Did I say girlfriend or ex girlfriend?laugh out loud
