Version 8 limits usage with so many computers, so how. Also, now I do not even have to go to the PC to check my backups because Macrium Reflect sends me the backup status in an email after each backup. Hi, I need to stay on version 7 of Macrium Reflect Free for licensing purposes, we use it in a school setting with about 50 computers, that counts as not-home, non-personal use - still legal and free with version 7, but not with version 8. Also, there is no longer a fear I will lose any important files because by keeping multiple Full, Differential, and Incremental backups I can go back and retrieve that file or files for an earlier backup (a feature that I have already used a couple of times. It has a free version available, but even the paid GoodSync Personal V10 costs just 49.95.

Since installing Macrium Reflect just under one-month ago I can back up my data partition and OS partitions with no fear of something not being backed up. I recently converted my PC to dual boot, meaning there are now two OS partitions and, of course, my data partition. Since I had three scheduled backups each evening for different backup sets, 1) certain 'user' files on my OS partition, 2) potential oft used data files (I kept my data files in a separate partition), and 3) my downloads and zip files. Before Marcum Reflect three times each evening I had to monitor my backups.īefore Macrium Reflect I had to monitor my old backup software results to be certain that the files I wanted to be backed up had been backed up, and that nothing has been deleted from the backup.
