In fact, I tested it and Macrium along with a few others a few years ago, and Macrium failed to create a recovery media, whereas Veeam worked perfectly, and has every time since. I haven't had to use it to recover from a disaster, but I've used it to restore to previous configs and to get a file I needed, and I haven't had any major issues. Very limited capabilities, but good enough for most, free, and I've been using it for a while now and it's worked well. so 20% off today was worth it for me -)Īnother good option, and what I've been using, is Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows. I'm kind of a spazz and want to get started with Windows 11 ASAP and know I'm bound to have to do a bunch of backups and restores. I think chigwei is right, probably best to hold out for Black Friday for most people. I also like the incremental backup feature with Macrium to save some wear and tear on my NAS instead of backing up the whole thing every time. Both of their failures led me to Macrium which worked out and allowed for a successful migration. Same thing with Windows Image Backup - CHKDSK didn't help in either case. Most recently it let me down when I had some bad sectors on a drive I wanted to move things off of, and it refused to do a successful backup (of whatever good sectors it could which was 99.99% of them!). I've used Clonezilla a bunch and it is great most of the time / has saved me with some full image restores for both Linux and Windows - I agree with your recommendation. Not the same but good option for those with no budget. For those that can't afford this, look into CloneZilla.
