Note this only works on windows computers.

Ok, this video will show and will walk you through the processes of creating a complete image backup of your entire operating system programs and harddrive data.

This will allow you to reinstall your whole operating system the it is now, all the programs and data can be restored back to normal with a few clicks of the mouse.

No this is not a systems restore, so don't get that mixed up, a system restore is entirely a different than making an image of your operating system and hardrive data.

A system restore point is a program which Microsoft gives with their operating system that allows you to return your system back to earliest time before a certain program or data made a major change to your computer.

That's very convenient, However what if your computer is so corrupted till the point you can't even operate your computer the way you want to reset your computers restore point, or if you reinstall your operating system.

That's when Macrium Reflect Free comes in, it's a free program that can allow you to reset your computer back to the way it was via two ways, You can make a rescue disk that will allow you to operate the program if there is a catastrophic failure of your window operating system.

Or you can just use the program on your system if you're able to operate your Operating system with no issues.You can us this program even if you did a clean instal of your operating system and them reinstall the back up you have and all of your programs and updates you had when you did the back up.




Cnet's review right here

Backing up your computer shouldn't be a tedious task. Macrium Reflect Free Edition makes file backup incredibly easy thanks to its intuitive user interface and helpful wizards.
Installing the program did confuse us a bit, because although it's a free program, it refers to purchasing the program, and you're given a confirmation number. On top of that, the program recommends that you view the online tutorials before getting started, but you might have some trouble deciphering them unless you speak Italian. Luckily, the built-in Help menu is more than adequate and written in English. The user interface is simple but professional in appearance. Intuitive commands line the top of the window, and tabs reveal options for disk images, partitions, XML definitions, and scheduled backups. A helpful wizard guides you through the process of setting up your backup. We were able to quickly select our backup location (local hard disk, network, CD/DVD). Before proceeding, it provides you with a summary of your backup so that you can see the backup type, destination, compression type, and password protection. Here is also where you can make advanced configurations to the compression levels and file sizes.
The program did slow our computer while it worked its magic, and we were unable to browse or work with other resource-intensive programs at the same time. However, we were able to watch the backup process, and the program successfully backed up our C Drive without a hitch. If you're looking for a simple but reliable backup program, we highly recommend Macrium Reflect Free Edition to all users

??? Why would you back it up on a partition on your hard drive? ??? If your hard drive crashes or you can't boot into windows then that backup is useless.

[DavinDaGeek]

@whiskeyify you accuses the partition via the rescue disc. You need to watch part two of this video.

[beastdude98]

Thanks Davin, I had always had problems making an image of my c drive. I used Macrium and followed your instructions and voila! it was easy and it worked. I even tested it by recovering from my first image. Thanks!

Great piece of software for backing up, but don't bother trying to do a restore.

Took 1hr to do a backup,but restore was still running 7 hours later and had only reached 30%
