A program I recommend most people to use, but I still prefer Paragon.

Speed wise I think Macrium is a bit faster.

McLovin, the last sentence got cut off.

here:

- For some customers, Reflect could crash when displaying the 'Rescue Media Drivers' page. This has been resolved.

My only issue with some updates, since last patch back in November, Minor bugs fixed in the Linux disk. What exactly were they? Wish they would at least list the bug fixes regardless of being minor or cosmetic or functional with lowest importance. Nowadays more and more vendors of any type of software do this by generalizing. It feels like there is stuff that is being kept out of the naked eye on purpose for an unknown reason.

RE: Macrium Reflect 5.0.4253

Thank you for the information there. Will manual update later. I re-tried Macrium just this December as I got an issue with Acronis Media not being able to read my new external drive. Macrium read it and to top it out the WinPE was beautiful. Now I use it

# Bug fixes:
