Tony, I've been using Macrium for a few years now, and the only time I have an issue is when I disconnect the backup disk and forget to plug it in. I usually leave it plugged in. I am running Windows 10 With OpenShell and when I do need to recover a file or folder it does so perfectly. When I cause the backup to blow up, I just start it manually and it completes fine. I run a full backup every month and differential every day. I've never had to do a full restore, but I have hit a restore point a couple of times and worked perfectly.
I have several old Apple Mac laptops that I am trying to source an affordable power adapter so I can see if they are worth keeping or if I should junk them. I am planing on ditching MicroSuck and go either Apple or straight Linux. Any opinions welcome.
