The advantages of those methods are, of course, they save both time and space. The lack of ability to create incremental and differential image backups may or may not deter some users. From there the user can browse the contents as one would with any normal hard drive.

One of the features I really appreciate in Macrium Reflect is the ability to mount an image as a virtual hard drive.
MACRIUM REFLECT FREE INCREMENTAL VERIFICATION
It’s a fine distinction verification is not automatic, but it merely requires an extra couple of clicks. Now, I know I listed ‘automatic verification’ as missing from Macrium Reflect (in the comparison chart) and have included ‘image verification’ in the list of good points, here is why: While Macrium Reflect does not in fact verify images automatically, it does provide for verification after the fact once an image has been created and saved the user can click on the verification icon (in the main GUI) and then proceed with verification.
MACRIUM REFLECT FREE INCREMENTAL FULL
Macrium Reflect may not include many of the advanced features of Acronis but it does perform its core function extremely well that is, the creation and restoration of full disk images. That said, not everyone can afford to purchase the excellent Acronis software, plus we are discussing only freeware here and Macrium Reflect Free does compare very favorably with other free imaging software, in my humble opinion it is the very best. When it comes to a full, unlimited backup and imaging solution Daves Computer Tips recommends Acronis True Image above all. Before we get started I want to make it clear that, as a feature limited offering, Macrium Reflect Free cannot be compared favorably with commercial counterparts.
