Advice Request To use Delta or Not.

[Rod McCarthy]

So as you guys know when you want to restore an image after testing new software ETC, if your using Macrium Reflect you can choose to restore using Enable Rapid Delta Restore, which is very fast, or not using it which is about 4X slower.

So my question is if you do use delta restore is the restored image as thorough or is there still junk on the hard drive, after you tested out some new software.

This has been bothering me for awhile. I like the hard drive to not have residue on it

Thanks

These guys working on something totally different. But they say, security software (What's out there now, will not work). Something about Demonsaw, and a new device to plug into your pc or router.

He has also made Anderson, known in hacker circles as Eijah, its chief technology officer.

The person to ask would be @therollbackfrong over at Wilders. He's heavy into disk imaging and has above average experience\knowledge. I'm fairly sure he has used MR paid - but I'm not sure if it is most recent version.

I never used Macrium Reflect paid. I guess I didn't say it right... very few users have MR paid - and therefore it is likely that you will not get a reply.

Sorry buddy...

Indeed I use MR paid, and not only use the Rapid Delta restore, but have also been using the new CBT driver beta. It is super fast, expecially if you take hourly incrementals which I do. When you do a Rapid Delta restore you get back exactly what you imaged.

I was one of the people who help Froggie (Therollbackfrog) test version 6 when we got our hands on it and some of the stuff I did to it was nasty. Never failed. Rod I have Acrobat Pro xi on my system. I trialed there new version which uninstalled the old and then installed the new. It was a 4gb data swap out. The restore back took one minute 58 seconds and it was a perfect restore.

Using the new CBT driver, my hourly incrementals average 40seconds. As for restores I already have several hundred under my belt. All of them perfect.

If you have any other questions fire away.

Oh as a PS. One of the ways I test imaging software, is start a restore, then wait about a minute or two and do a power reset. This then leaves a trashed system. THen I do another restore. It better pass.
