I have used Macrium Reflect for years and being free it lacked encryption. I just found that out b/c it is EOL for free.
I keep trying different ones and don't know whether to stay with Macrium and pay or go elsewhere.
I tried Windows B+R and it was fine but heard it is not long for this world...

When I recently did an update to Macrium, I noticed that a boot option was available. I did this and now when I boot, there is an option to open Macrium Reflect or windows log on. Is this what I would use if system acts up and won't open windows? Another option to the usb boot device is what I...
