Macrium Reflect Free

Macrium Reflect is able to create an image of your hard disk drive (or of a partition of your hard disk) and to clone a disk directly to another disk.  This image can be used to restore your computer in whole, or simply to recover individual lost files.  The backup can be placed on a USB drive, a network share, or a local disk, and backups can be scheduled to fit your workflow.

Features:

• Backup templates (Grandfather/Father/Son; Differential)
• Backup images can be mounted and browsed in Windows Explorer
• The Macrium Rescue Environment/Builder allows you to fully restore your computer in the event of a system failure using a DVD/CD or USB drive
• Able to create a live image of the running Windows OS

Creates disk images and bootable rescue media to recover a whole system or single files after a failure.
