Hello.
About a year ago, I moved from Acronis True Image to Macrium Reflect, and it was a great decision. True Image has had a history of being unreliable and Acronis was not being responsive. Plus, it's 2014 and Acronis STILL hasn't updated Disk Director 11 for use with Windows 8. Despite fresh promises on their forum, I have decided that they are just not serving the customer very well and now may be the time for me to make the jump to an alternative.
Here's what I need:
Ability to size, resize, and move disk partitions.
Ability to work with MBR and GPT partitions.
Ability to work with Linux partitions and (eventually one day) Mac partition types.
Ability to be put onto a thumbdrive or CD/DVD (yep, I still have them) for booting.
Ability to clone a partition or entire hard drive.
Ability to work seamlessly with any disk type whether it's hard drive, solid state, or hybrid.
Flexible licensing to allow me to use the product on all my personal computers without being $50'd and $100'd to death.
I don't use disk partitioning tools all that often, but once in a blue moon I need one. It's getting to be time for me to source a larger backup drive and move my current backup drive into place as a main drive, so a blue moon is fast approaching.
Recommendations needed and appreciated...
