Macrium Reflect Free is being retired.

[Murphy]

I'm sure lots of people make use of the free version of Reflect so it's disappointing to hear they're not going to be releasing free versions after 1st January 2024.

But i wanted to canvas opinions on what people intend to do after that time, carry on using the last free version?

Find an alternative and if so what?

Or fork over the £50 (£25 currently) to carry on using it?

 

[Murphy]

just carry on using the last version of the free build they have?

Yea i pretty much settled on doing that as all the alternatives I've looked at all seem a bit naff and don't seem to play well with the WinRE image that gets installed in the hidden partition Windows insists on creating these days.

I'm not too fussed about the compression, as long as it doesn't just clone the disk so you end up with a 1TB image full of empty space, it's more the recovery USB/CD/ISO being compatible with WinRE as then it can be added to the Windows recovery environment using REAgentC.
