How much do you trust Macrium Reflect?

You're right, though I think it is more to do with cereberus' interpretation...


FWIW, they still seem to put a little effort into support, apparently it got fixed in Insider build 17711 and should hopefully make its way into 1809....
New Windows 10 Insider Preview Fast Skip Ahead Build 17711 - July 6 Insider - Windows 10 Forums

Well, that's good news for the x86 Win 7 type backup users on Win 10 x86. Gives them some breathing room. Wonder what they've been doing meanwhile. Some 3rd party or File History, or copy/paste data, or nothing.

Hi,
MS just wants people to pay for onedrive storage basically :)
No money in system imaging on a device sitting next to the user it way too straight forward.

Do I detect just a slight touch of .......

I trust MR a great deal more than MS about 250% . Try Windows built in backup or restore points which have never worked,

I only complained yesterday about "System Restore" never working and having to rely more on Full Image backups with Macrium even for minor changes and today i noticed these new updates:

So out of curiosity i checked system restore and it worked, it was very slow restoring the system, but at least it struggled through to completion, and i don't believe in the Tooth fairy or the Easter bunny or Microsoft updates fixing my computer, but something has and it would be nice to know what it was, maybe Macrium felt sorry for me LOL,

Well, if they've been reading TenForums they'd know by now that...

...there are workarounds....

Creating a system image works after replacing the 32-bit 1803's version of wbengine.exe with one from another version, the 32-bit 1709 is the usual choice.

Restoring a system image works when booting from a recovery drive made by 1709 or any earlier version.

1803 creating a system image fails with RPC server error 0x800706BA - post #52

Personally for my test machine, where the whole point is to be able to image and reimage at will, I've switched over to using Macrium.

Like I said I am always messing up my computer and Macrium has always been able to restore to a pre messed up state.

Try to use a restore point to restore a system 6 months down the road. Then you will get a good laugh. With MR this is indeed possible and the facts are that SR is a joke and always has been.
