General Discussion / 50% Off Macrium Reflect Backup Software
« on: November 18, 2021, 11:55:11 AM »
After Acronis moving to an annual subscription model in early 2021, many past Acronis users were upset and moving to other backup software products. One backup software which keeps being mentioned is Macrium Reflect. I had the chance to use Macrium Reflect FREE back in 2015 when Acronis did not support NVMe SSD’s. Later, Acronis did support the new type of SSD’s. I was waiting for this Macrium Reflect 50% offer. I purchased the 4 pack. If you purchase this deal you will be entitled to a FREE Macrium Reflect version 9 when it’s released around May 2022. Future updates are offered at 50% discount, if so desired.

Dual booting Linux and Windows lets me enjoy the full potential of the two operating systems.

I have both Linux and Windows installed on the Dell desktop and can choose which one to use after booting my computer.
