==File Backup==
Macrium Reflect can also backup files and folders into a compressed [[RAM drive|virtual drive]]. This can be [[mount (computing)|mounted]] as a drive letter in [[Windows Explorer]] for file recovery using copy and paste. Full, [[incremental backup]] and [[differential backup]] files are supported as well as data compression.

==Disk Cloning==
Macrium Reflect can [[Disk
_  cloning|clone one disk onto another]]. An image is taken of the disk to be cloned and rather than create an image file, the output is placed directly onto the target disk. The target disk does not need to be the same size as the original provided it is big enough to fit all the data. Macrium Reflect also ensures that the underlying disk signatures and data structures are consistent on the new disk.

==System Recovery==

3. Microsoft also provide a free-to-download tool called the [[Windows Automated Installation Kit]] (WAIK) that Macrium Reflect uses to create a Rescue CD. The advantage of using this method is that the WAIK has a much richer set of preinstalled drivers compared to Windows PE allowing the rescue disk to be created more easily. The disadvantage of using this method is that it requires a 1.7GB download from Microsoft.

Macrium Reflect v5 offers Linux and Windows PE as standard.
  

==Redeploy to new hardware==
Macrium Reflect Professional and Server editions provide the ability to redeploy and image to new hardware in the case of catastrophic hardware failure. Using a pre-created Macrium Reflect Rescue CD, it is possible to inject the critical drivers associated with the new system into the image taken from the old system, enabling it to boot on the new system after it has been restored.

==Free Edition==
A [http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx free edition] is available for non-commercial use. It is missing features available in the paid versions, limiting its practical use to one of imaging and cloning operations. Technical support is not included.
