Question about Macrium Reflect
Better late than never, but I've finally started using backup/cloning software, namely Macrium Reflect considering all the praise it gets.
But I need to ask, is downloading the PE files used for creating a restore USB necessary if I'm just going to be cloning my drive?
From what I understand, the restore USB is for situations where the system cannot boot whatsoever, so the rescue USB is used to put me at a point where I can restore from an image. But the image can still be used to restore as long as I can boot my computer normally to the point that I can run the Macrium software. And a clone is simply a perfect clone on another drive.
If whatever disaster occurs and I can't boot on my usual drive, I could just replace the problematic drive with the cloned drive and everything would be the exact same as when I created the clone, right?
