I have been trying to find a straightforward video for a few days, now. Out of every video, I have found this was the clearest and most in-depth breakdown I have found. Thank you for the simple - yet professional - walk-through!!

I've been trying to clone my old disk to no avail and without this video I'd probably still be trying. Thank you for taking the time to guide us through the process, I am writing this comment from a succesfully restored image!

Thank you very much. Macrium should thank you, too, as I will now become a customer of this product. Your explanation about everything was clear and concise. I'll definitely check out your other videos--you could probably get a job from multiple tech companies explaining all of their products' capabilities to laypeople.

Note that before you start the system imaging you should check your USB stick/external drive's format for if it is FAT the files will save in batches of 4 GB instead of one single compact file. You need to switch the stick's format to NTFS

Thank you SO much. Been battling for days with a clone to new SSD giving data read errors. Tried many ways. This is the only way that worked. THANK YOU

Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing! We've been using Macrium Reflect for years saving monthly backups. Today this effort finally paid off when a user corrupted our laptop by getting scammed with malware that took over the machine. This video showed exactly how to restore our data to return the laptop to a state before being infected.

Thank you SO much for this! I have been struggling for hours to clone a failing drive to a new SSD, but the clone process kept failing due to bad sectors. Thanks to you and this brilliant video, I was able to clone the drive by using an image. Great video, thanks again.

Very clear and precise. Congratulations!

finally a goood step by step of the whole process it took me all day to find this. everyone else did not explain everything thank you

[markdawson]

Appreciated your video... I've done this before, but it has been several years, and this time was much easier because I didn't have to relearn the process--I just watched your step-by-step video and saved the image to an external HDD. The next project is to image a few old PC's so I can run them as VM's on a new one.

I've always heard that this program was incredibly useful and easy to use. thank you for clarifying how it's so easy to use it. I'll now attempt to switch the SSDs between my two laptops so my faster one gets the 500 GB and the old one gets the 250 GB. wish me luck

[ZyklonBeast]

[truegrabbers]
