Upgrade to Reflect X - great support

I have been a user of Macrium backup on a total of 4 home machines and moved from V8 to X recently. I had trouble upgrading a Dell laptop to X but Macrium support (thank you Wisam!) were very quick to help me upgrade successfully.

Support Kudos for Macrium

I had stupidly placed two orders for Macrium Reflect within miues of each other. I sent an E mail to support and asked for a correction. I was stunned to learn that Alex caused one order to be cancelled the very next day. Support in spades! Thank you!

Terrible and unclear error reporting and horrible UX and UI

Terrible and unclear error reporting, with no help and really bad user interface. Spend more than week to set it up to work with NAS. UX and UI people done really, really bad job. For its price I would not buy it again.

Easy interface

Easy interface. Always backs up in a timely manner.

Used the free version for many years and need file, image, customer backups and being able to restore from a clear list of files in an image etc.

Very nice.

Subscription policy is not fair for home users

This is truly an excellent backup software with respect to reliability, usability, functional scope and prizing(?). Until version 8.x I was really happy with that product and I use it only in my personal life. I renewed the license for 4 computers regularly every two or three years. So, 5 stars were justified up to that point. Now the licensing policy has changed drastically and comes close to extortion with the new subscription model for private users. Looking now for appropriate replacement.

As you have bought a perpetual version for Macrium 8, this licence continues to work for the foreseeable future as promised. Please don't forget this licence - you don't need to move to subscription.

Another company moving to greedy subscription

How crazy, Macrium Reflect is now a subscription software. It's time to move away. Very sad about this management descision. Reflect was a very good backup software. It will not pay out in the long run. Greedy mngmnt nowadays! "You'll own nothing and be happy"-times ...

Awesome and prompt customer service

Awesome and prompt customer service working with Alex and team. Needed some help with switching from single license to multi pc license and everything was a breeze. Plus, the product just works.

This is backup software that works

This is backup software that works and is fully dependable for me. I used Norton backup long ago, and so many times it couldn't start a subsequent backup because it couldn't figure out where the previous backup was. Reflect works every time, and has been a successful source of recovery files. It is solid.

Great backup protection

This is a very well designed and executed software I have used for many years for backup use. Many functions are included allowing for differing types of backups and custom schedules.
Works for me and saved my butt when my system crashed and lost my OS.
