reuse an image?

Hello I have imaged with both Win 8 native imaging program and Macrium reflect freeware. I want to test my Macrium image. I have used the disc and gone as far as the last step before recovery and all seems ok. That does not mean the image will recover properly. Can I create a new updated image, test it, and if it tests ok, keep for future use, or should I create another new image? Peter

Can I create a new updated image, test it, and if it tests ok, keep for future use, or should I create another new image?

I can't see the point of creating another image if the current one tests OK. In fact I can't see the point in testing an image as if it was not made correctly, MR will let you know it before you close the program.

I have used Macrium Reflect for years and it is solid and easy to use. For basic C: imaging or partition imaging, the free version is fast and extremely reliable.

My last image was old so forget it. I basically was asking if you can reuse an image to recover.

As many times as you like.

Thank you Sir.

I just completed imaging with Macrium and it did my system almost twice as fast as Acronis used to. ON the other hand, my Win program is a dog but serves as a backup. I tested Macrium and it recovered beautifully and the fastest I have ever used.

Hi Donna, I have removed your active link to graphical image applications and services, as the topic here was concerned with disc imaging.(not graphics) Regards paws
