![]() Macrium reflect in windows would have taken maybe 2 minutes at a MUCH faster output speed and it would only make an image from the data USED (2 GB), and on top of that it would compress it with a REALLY good ratio so it would have been like a 1.6 GB image done in 2 minutes instead of a 16gb image done in 23 minutes in disk utility on Mac. It creates disk images and file backup archives using Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy Service to ensure point in time data accuracy. Not only did it take a whopping 22 minutes at 13 mb/s, it made a 16GB image even though only 2 GB is used. Macrium Reflect is a backup utility for Microsoft Windows developed by Paramount Software UK Ltd in 2006. I tested making an image of 16GB flash drive in disk utility. Several people recommended the native Disk Utility in macOS to do backup/cloning and I found it to be horrible. It does amazing compression ratios, its super fast, it can make its own format of images that are read/write and mount very quickly in windows.īut recently I use my 2019 MacBook Pro Touch Bar more than my pc and I’d rather not have to turn on my windows computer every time I want to clone backup my drives once a month or whatever I do. First off the personal use version is free and the basic features in this version are fine for me. For most of my backup needs I’ve used Macrium Reflect on windows which is AMAZING.
