Macrium Reflect, Canadian dealer
I was considering on *maybe* buying Macrium Reflect Premium for it's
extra features, But 2 things stopped me dead in my tracks. 1: Search as I might on the web I cannot find any Canadian resellers, Not even Amazon,ca or Newegg.ca. 2: looking on the US site the Price is $69.95 usd, translated to Canadian dollars that is $97.64 cdn. Much as I like Macrium Reflect I find this way too expensive and will stick to the free edition. Rene |

Surely they know what they're doing, but one would think their price for personal use would be less. Maybe they have lots of company users. Rolling in the dough. Good for them. |

Worse in my opinion is uTorrent offering a free version, but you must
pay for a SUBSCRIPTION if you want to buy it. |

Are you some idiot who can't read the post correctly?Â* He said: buying Macrium Reflect Premium for it's extra features, Are you using any of it's extra features?Â*Â* Don't ask me what these features are because I don't use that crap here.Â* In fact I don't waste time doing backups when cloud storage does everything for me. -- With over 1.2 billion devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. |

KenW For me the same. I use it for years now on all our systems, and the free version does all we need. So we stick to the free version. Fokke |

Much as I like Macrium Reflect I find this way too expensive and will stick to the free edition. Rene I paid for Macrium Reflect Home mostly to get the incremental backups. Those save a lot of disk space for the backup files while giving me daily scheduled backups (rather than once per week for differentials). The paid version also includes their Image Guardian which installs a root-kit style kernel-mode stacked file I/O driver to prevent malware or even bumbling users from modifying or deleting the backup files (other than by the Reflect program). You can still read unfettered, but writing has to be done by the program as well as deleting old backup files or via retention rules. This adds protection against malware from encrypting or deleting your backups. Yeah, their price seems high, mostly because it has lots of features that I don't use. I bought direct from Macrium. If you're buying just for yourself, cost is $70/license. You can buy a 4-license pack for $140 which is the price of 2 licenses but gives you 4, so if you buy for 2 to 4 users total then get the 4-pack. Macrium doesn't sell through e-tailers (e.g., Amazon, Newegg). Won't find it at eBay, either (if it's listed there, it's illegal, a scam, or something like a book or a different product leeching onto the Macrium brand). Macrium sells only through Cleverbridge.com, and online seller service for MANY software products. They do have resellers, but those are for IT/enterprise sales. Those sales still go through Cleverbridge. https://kb.macrium.com/KnowledgebaseArticle50216.aspx "Our IT Reseller Partner Programme is for IT software resellers and offers a number of benefits including a dedicated Partner Portal and the possibility of additional sales discounts for promoting Macrium Reflect software to your customer base. Our Partner Portal is operated in conjunction with trusted eCommerce provider, cleverbridge and enables you to efficiently provide Macrium Products to your existing customer base." |

I also was looking at Incremental and scheduled backups which would both be great, But I will continue to do it manually which is not a big hardship and I have plenty of space as I only keep 5 or 6 copies on hand and delete the older ones after a month or so. I would have gladly paid about $49.95 CDN for it but $98.00 CDN is just too much. Rene |

You should also consider Acronis https://www.acronis.com/en-us/lp/per...SABEgJqR_D_BwE or https://tinyurl.com/ubpflg8 I've used it for several years and it does all that I can want plus a whole lot more.
