Macrium Reflect is a complete backup and disaster recovery solution for Windows XP and Vista. Reflect can backup files and folders into a compressed mountable archive file or your entire PC into a single image. Using this image you can restore the entire disk, partition or individual files and folders. You can create full, differential and incremental images to optimize backup speed and disk space requirements. Images can be stored on local or network drives, CD or DVD media, and removable drives connected using USB or Firewire (IEEE1394). In the event of a total loss of the Windows operating system your PC can be started using the Reflect recovery CD. This CD starts a compact version of the Linux operating system with a familiar mouse and graphical interface. You can then recover partitions and entire disk images with just a few clicks of your mouse.
