Incidentally, Macrium also excludes hiberfil.sys by default, as it should be. But Macrium Reflect takes care of that : it excludes it by default (although you can toggle that option). Taking bits out of the image in the first place, to shave off a few minutes, or gigabytes, from the backup, defeats the purpose.Įxcept for the pagefile.sys file, which does not need to be restored - indeed, it’s better that it should not be. Now the question is : why do you image your disk at all ? I would suggest you need this in case of catastrophic failure, when the easiest remedial measure would be to restore from it : if you get a virus infection, if your data is locked by ransomware, if your hard disk fails, if you’ve installed a misbeahaving program that can’t be completely uninstalled…īut then, if you need to do this, would you want to restore without your mail ? Without the help files of your design program (which you’d have deleted if you didn’t need them at all, ever) ? I don’t know what MSOCache directory does, but I suppose it’s needed by Office.Īnyway, the whole point of imaging is not the speed of backup : it’s the speed of restoring, and the certainty that you’ll have everything back in working order in a single operation, without having to nitpick individual folders, or worry if you’ve forgotten something. You can pick and choose whatever partitions (or disks) you want in your Kob If there’s a big part of your disk you don’t want included in your regular images meant for emergency restoration, maybe you need to create a new partition and put the relevant files there. Now the question is : why would you want to do that ? The answer might be that a different partition system is called for on your disk. There are advantages and drawbacks in both methods.Īre you sure that Acronis allows disk imaging with exclusion of custom folders ? I haven’t looked it up for a long time.

Sync Back Free saves files in their native format. You need Macrium in order to restore from it. The difference between Macrium and some other, dedicated file-and-folder backup programs which can’t image, such as Sync Back Free, is that Macrium does its file-and-folder backup under a proprietary format.

One of Macrium advantages is precisely that you can have both modes in the same program, under the same user interface, with the same scheduling and retention system, the same verification system, etc. You can schedule both disk images for wholesale restore, and file-and-folder backups for very critical files, for instance. If you want to backup some files/folders/directories and not others, you use the file-and-folder backup mode.

And it does not save empty space by default either, although there’s an option to do that if you must : forensic mode). (All right, there are a few nuances, such as Macrium excludes some big, unnecessary files by default : the swap file and such. This mode does not work at the file level.

That’s the whole point : you image everything, so as to be sure to be able to restore everything as it was at date x. Image-type backup is precisely meant to backup everything indiscriminately. However, it strikes me that what you’re asking for is a barking cat, or tea tasting as coffee. You can exclude whatever directories/folders/files you want in the file-and-folder backup mode, but not in the disk imaging mode or the disk cloning mode. Macrium has three backup modes : disk cloning, disk imaging and file-and-folder backup. I’m not aware of possible changes in the server/enterprise editions. Rapid Delta Restore is supposed to greatly shorten restore (I can’t tell you about actual performance).

There are other, useful options than have been added to the backup plans, for scheduling and retention.

If you chose to have, for instance, one full and ten incrementals, when the eleventh incremental is saved, the oldest incremental is merged into the full (resulting in a synthetic full), and you still have your last ten incrementals you could go back to if you wanted to restore an older version. This means you never need to do a full backup again. In the past, the help I have received (and the threads I have read) were of good quality, with Macrium technicians popping in regularly.įeature-wise, version 6 brings a nice-to-have mode : incrementals forever. To the extent that you might encounter problems, this might be important. Accessing version 6 forum requires having bought version 6 (the free edition does not qualify). It has been closed (maybe you can still read the archives, but you can’t ask questions). The most pressing need I could see is that you don’t have access to the version 5 forum anymore.
