Images can help you recover from a drive failure or Windows corruption. The images are usually created on an external hard drive as.

When recovering the Macrium image it will take this ‘Photo’ & place everything back to where it originally was at the time the photo was taken. I envision it as taking a photograph of where all the files, folders & programs are as well as where the Windows files/folders are & keeping that photo safe. Combine this with the Windows ow File History then a user is covered for all eventualities.Īn image is a snapshot of your computer’s drive at that particular time.

I find doing a full image on the 1st of the month (which takes 4-5 hours incl verifying) & then a differential image every Monday, then Tues - Fri I di incremental images (Incremental is only available via the paid version) (this takes minutes).Ī full backup isn’t needed every time you run a backup, A full once a month or before a major update, then differential 3 times a week is enough for the average user. File & Folder backup is not possible unless you’re using the paid version.
