New Macrium Reflect Updates [2]

Ah, Touché.

It's just my personal opinion. The company keeps a firm hand on remediation.

As I said, if it's noting critical.

It would be great if I can get an email every time there is a fix.

FWIW.

Ummm, Macrium is one of the few OEMs with a quick response to problems we may experience. IOW, if a person has an issue and reports it, it's quickly evaluated, and if found to be something other than the occupant of the chair in front of the monitor, a fix is sent out ASAP.

I just don't think asking them to hold off on the fix until they have several is something the person with the issue would appreciate. Thing is, we don't know how many people have the issue; it could be a rare issue, or it could affect thousands of people.

I tried to find out how many people use MR, but didn't succeed. I am quite sure, though, that millions of people use just the free version. Which is updated right along with the paid version when applicable.

I just don't think it's feasible for Macrium to send out an email to every MR user every time they update.

As someone said earlier, you may not want or need an available update, but the vast majority of users may consider the update you don't want a necessity.

You can please some of the people some of the time; you cannot please all of the people all of the time. It just ain't possible.

@Wynona -

Macrium (Paramount Software) is a great company when it comes to fixes. Better than I can say for Microsoft.

The Free version of MR is better than any other Paid Version.

Wow! Thanks for the info, Bree. Guess I didn't look hard enough!

99% agree with you. The only slight weakness in the free version is that it does not offer incremental backups which rival AEOMI does in its free version.

Anyway I recently bought 4 Home licences on Black Friday at 50% off (and 4 are already half price) i.e. 4 licences for cost of one - bargain.

Do you have a paid version?

Paid version. I teach my students how to use the free version, though. They're all Senior Citizens, and I find that they can best afford free versions . . . Kinda like myself, but Macrium had the half-price sale, and although I don't use any of the advanced features, it's good to support when I can.
