It also gives the option of an exact copy. The free version does offer a choice of image compression settings - none, high and medium - and medium is recommended. Macrium's promotions seem to tout that ability as a reason to upgrade, but they're not all that clear about it.
If there is a way to do that with the free version, I haven't found it, and hope others will enlighten me if they have.
However, I understand your second question to be whether the free version can extract discreet files or folders from an image, and restore only those files or folders, without restoring the entire image. Earlier this week, for instance, I used the free version to image a 250GB drive with about 130GB of used space in two partitions, and the image file is about 50GB. At the medium setting, an image file tends to be roughly 35-40% the size of the content of the drive whose image(s) it contains.
The 'Layout' toolbar button is available if the selected partition on the the target drive is a copied partition that can be resized/moved or a drive letter can be chosen after the clone/restore operation.It's free, give it a try to see both features. In either of the above cases the toolbar option 'Fill Space' is also available.Įxisting partitions can be deleted by selecting the partition and taking the 'Delete Partition' toolbar buttonĪll existing partition can be removed by taking the 'Erase Disk' toolbar option, This option can be useful to free up space by deleting multiple partitions with one click, however, existing partitions will be automatically deleted if copied partitions overlap their start or end sector. If free space is available after a copied partition then the toolbar option 'Float Right' is available. If free space is available before a copied partition then the toolbar option 'Float Left' is available.
