You can view, edit, cancel or run scheduled backups from the Scheduled Backups screen. You can then customize the plan to suit your needs. You can even skip over scheduling to simply take advantage of the retention rules for managing your disk space. Whenever you create a backup, regardless of the type, you have the option to create a backup plan using the scheduling and retention wizard.Ĭlick below Select a Template for your Backup Plan to select from industry best practice backup plans templates, quick-start backup plan templates, or even templates that you have created.

Select the disk or partition you require from the Create Backups screen and click Clone this disk.įor more information see Cloning a disk. Cloning disksĬloning is particularly useful if you are upgrading to a new, larger hard drive or if you need to quickly swap failed disks out of your system. The wizard can be accessed from the Create Backups task bar.įor more information see Backing up files and folders.

Backing up files and foldersĬreating Full, Differential, and Incremental backups of specific files or folders can optimize backup speed and disk space requirements. Right-click the backup definition that you want to run and select the type of image to create.įor more information see Differential and incremental disk images. Macrium manages these Image sets for you. Differential and Incremental Images create Image 'sets' that contain a chain of dependent Image files. This is usually substantially faster than creating another Full backup and also gives you the same number of restore points and flexibility. Differential Images capture all changes since the Full, and Incremental Images capture changes since the last Image. Differential and incremental disk imagesĪfter your first Full Image, you can run Differential and/or Incremental Images to capture changes made since the Full Image was created. Imaging disksĭisk imaging is a backup task and can be accessed from the Create Backups taskbar.įor further guidance see Creating a backup of your computer. We recommended that the first time you use Macrium Reflect, you create bootable rescue media before performing any other tasks.Ĭlick the Rescue icon to access the Rescue Media Builder wizard.įor further guidance see Creating rescue media.
