#Scheduling with macrium reflect free windows
Thus I have 1 for Windows (4 partitions for UEFI) 1 for a large media partition, one for a couple of partitions used when I was teaching English and which don't change (so don't need image updates), and one more of faster changing data.īasically that separates Windows from data, and fast changing data from static data, with the idea of only imaging what's necessary at a given time.
#Scheduling with macrium reflect free full
This is also known as a Synthetic Full backup.Īs well as the 'method', any tips on the sequence of the full and incremental runs?įinally, how often do others make a new recovery USB?Ĭan I really be confident of navigating safely to what seems a rather complex 'set' of G-F-S files and faithfully restoring them?Ĭonsidering my laptop with 2 disks, the second with several partitions, I have several corresponding folders on my backup disk containing image files, each folder appropriately named with the name of the PC and the partitions imaged. The Full backup is consolidated with subsequent Incremental backups once the specified number of Incremental backups is reached. Incrementals forever optimizes backup space and time by only ever creating a single Full backup.Īfter this Incremental backups are created ad infinitum. I think my previous was 'Incremental Backup Set', and that now seems perhaps a bit over complicated for a solo end user with no network stuff?ĭaily Incremental ("Son"), weekly Differential ("Father"), and monthly Full ("Grandfather") backups.Ī Full backup is created periodically followed by daily Differential backups.Ī Full backup is created periodically followed by daily Incremental backups. I'm now reconfiguring and pondering the choice of various scheduling templates, so would appreciate others' opinions or experience please. The reason turned out to be that somehow the drive letter of my destination external USB drive letters had been altered. But yesterday I discovered that every weekly run since May had been unsuccessful -( It was scheduled very early every Saturday morning so I didn't often get to see it start anyway. After a few months of occasional checks I left it to do its stuff and essentially forgot about it. I setup Macrium Reflect (Free) over three years ago. Some background before I get to my specific question.
