Even the process which does nothing but check email for me every 10 mins uses 11,868 KB of memory.) I would think you could shut down the process if you didn't want to use the 'mount image feature' in Reflect.These pages introduce you to Macrium Reflect, its capabilities, and methods. (IE tops the charts with the top two positions of 97,356 and 84,224 KB. I have some 35 processes running which use less and 48 which use more, so 6080 KB doesn't seem that outlandish. It looks like ReflectService.exe is currently using ('Working Set') 6080 KB.

Installing multiple imaging programs CAN cause a problem depending on the programs and how things are set up.įound how to check using the Resource Monitor. The only time I've seen a post regarding a BSOD the poster thought might be related to Reflect is when they installed another imaging program, left it installed, installed Reflect then tried to uninstall one of the two. When I manually shut down that service I saw no change. I do see that Task Manager indicates I am currently using 1.65GB of memory. I am not sure if the free version allows this, however.Īs for the 3.6MB Reflect Service you're referring to I can see the service you described running on my Win7-64 computer but cannot see a way to determine the memory that service is using. They have instructions in a KB article on their site. You can create a bootable flash drive with at least some versions of Reflect. I basically just went through the comparison you indicated you already read, but I picked out the features I use and tried to give my 'real world examples' which is what I'm hoping you were looking for. I was happy with Drive Image for the short time I used it before Symantec bought it out, but other than that Macrium is the only company deserving of my cash. I've used Ghost, Drive Image (bought out my Symantec and incorporated into Ghost), True Image and Reflect. This allows me to 'set it and forget it.' I only keep two image sets and after a third image set completes and verifies correctly the oldest set is deleted. Though my system doesn't use either of these now, I'm sure I'll need this support at some point.

For instance, I have a single XML which runs a full backup on the first day of each month and two incremental backups twice per week for the rest of the month. I create XML files and tweak the coding a little to get precisely what I need done. It's nice to be able to read and comment on posts. Unlike you, I use these so I don't have to remember to image every few days

With SSD it restores the image within 5 minutes (Windows 8 64bit installation) 6 minutes later I´m back in businessīut with that said and if you trust the linux environment I dont see the need for you to buy if you only do full backups and dont need the recovery item in the boot menu (ie you will have to use the linux disk to restore) Personally, as mentioned, I use the boot menu and differntial and incremential options alot so for me it is definetely worth paying (if not else to support a great piece of software so there can be a free version ) I trust Macrium 100% after all these successfull backups and restores. I cant see why the free version should be less reliable. since june) have all been successful with the paid version. And if you dont do alot of restores (like me who does at least two or three every month, often even more) a slow loading CD shouldnt really be a problem?Īll I can say is that all the restores I have done (lost count by now, maybe 30 or so. DVDs and CDs always takes 'long' time to load, regardless of if it is Linux or PE ime Thats why I use the boot menu provided in Macrium and have the images on a separate drive. I have not tried the Linux recovery disk so I can not say if it as good as the PE disk.
