#MACRIUM REFLECT 7 VS ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE SOFTWARE#

The Macrium Guardian states it protects the backups from ransomware but I am thinking that would be even more true if a backup is on the disconnected External HD.Īnother thought - does anyone save their image backups in the cloud? I would think that trying to backup to the cloud if it is connected to the computer the files could also be susceptible to an attack? Macrium does not seem capable of directly backing up to the cloud so it would be more of storing the backup files on the cloud but have safe are Macrium Backups on a cloud if someone else can use Macrium to open them (hopefully that are using some type of encryption that only your own copy could use them and not another copy of Macrium). The standard version suffices for most users needs, features like restore to different hardware are only in the premium version.

#MACRIUM REFLECT 7 VS ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE SOFTWARE#

With a new computer on the horizon I am looking at Imaging Software and in particular Macrium Home Edition which includes the Guardian functionality (protection of Macrium backup files from ransomware).Īny thoughts on how high the ransomware protection is? I plan to backup to my 2nd System HD for fast restore if needed but also backup to an External HD which will be disconnected after imaging and theoretically safe. Acronis True is probably the most popular and well known commercial backup software around, and with recent versions they are offering support for syncing backups to their cloud storage service.
