The larger the backup, the longer it takes to restore. It's possible to backup everything (all disks) at one time, it's just not wise. Macrium also has bootable Rescue Media you can make, that will allow you to access your backups, even when Windows won't boot. So keep that in mind when deciding how big an external drive you will need.įor the Windows drive, Macrium backs up the 3 or 4 partitions, needed to boot Windows. This is great for drives with tons of data.īackups will be approx.

This just adds whatever has changed to the backup of your data that you've already made. They image the C: (Windows) drive, because unlike System Restore, full OS image backups.work.įor data drives like your D: drive, many back those up too, but not as often.įor the data drive, you might want to use 'differential backups'. So my PC has two drives in it, C drive which has the operating system on it and D drive, i keep all my photography items on the D drive, so do i need to image both drives onto an external drive? Just downloaded Macrium Reflect, so i will try and get my head around it.
