Backup and Restore with Macrium Reflect 5.0
A series of articles with instructions and videos demonstrating the steps required to install, backup and restore your computer using Macrium Reflect 5.0.
Macrium Reflect 1: Downloading and Installing
Macrium Reflect 5.0 is available as a downloadable application. I'll walk you through the process of downloading and installing the program.
Macrium Reflect 2: Creating Rescue Media
The first step after installing any backup software is to create bootable rescue media. I'll show you how to do that with Macrium Reflect.
Macrium Reflect 3: Creating a Backup Image
The most basic and perhaps most important type of backup is the system image. I'll walk through creating an image backup in Macrium Reflect.
Macrium Reflect 4: Creating an Incremental Backup Image
Incremental backups are the true backbone of any backup system. Incremental backups build on the initial full backup by saving files that have changed.
Macrium Reflect 5: Scheduling Backups
Scheduling backups to happen automatically is perhaps the most important and often overlooked part of a backup strategy. I'll show you how in Reflect.
Macrium Reflect 6: Restoring an Image
Hopefully, you'll never need it, but should your machine become malware-ridden or suffer a hardware failure, it'll be time to restore from a backup image.
Macrium Reflect 7: Restoring a File from an Image Backup
Image backups contain every file on the drive that they image. Fortunately, if you need only some files, you don't need to restore the whole thing.
