Macrium Site Manager Ī central management console is available which enables scheduling, restore and monitoring of multiple networked computers running Macrium Reflect using a Web browser user interface. Macrium Reflect image backups created with any older version (Free or paid editions) can be restored with any later version. Using pre-created Macrium Reflect Rescue media (CD, DVD or USB memory stick), critical drivers required by the new system can be inserted into the image taken from the old system, making it compatible with the new hardware. Macrium Reflect can clone one disk onto another, and restore an image to new hardware. In the event of a partial or complete system loss, this image can be used to restore the entire disk, one or more partitions, or individual files and folders. Images can be mounted as a drive letter in Windows Explorer and restored using a custom Macrium Reflect Rescue CD. Data is compressed and encrypted in real time using LZ-based compression and AES encryption algorithms. Macrium Reflect can create full, incremental and differential backup images, or selectively back up individual files and folders. It has received numerous favorable reviews, and is often recommended and used as an example program for cloning and backup tutorials. Macrium Reflect can back up whole partitions or individual files and folders into a single compressed, mountable archive file, which can be used to restore exact images of the partitions on the same hard disk for disaster recovery, or a new hard disk for data migration. It creates disk images and file backup archives using Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service to ensure 'point in time' data accuracy.
