To protect the information stored on your computer, you can make a backup copy of the individual files or, with a much more appropriate option, duplicate the disc perfectly. The advantage of using this second method is that you can recover installed applications and customization options that would otherwise be permanently lost in the event of a loss.

Macrium Reflect Free is a tool that can completely duplicate partition even if it is running. The resulting disc image can be stored on the partition itself or in other much more convenient options such as network drives, portable storage devices, CD / DVD drives, etc.

The compression algorithm used by Macrium Reflect Free reduces the size of the resulting image by a significant percentage and also guarantees the optimum speed to complete the process. Needless to say, cloned drives can be restored from within Macrium Reflect Free. You can also create a Linux-based recovery CD.
