Meanwhile, all of my work drives are Samsung SSDs and the included Samsung cloning tool only allows you to clone to other Samsung SSDs, which is fine for my first level of backup but I like the background differentials running in set and forget mode to a massive spinning rust drive that Macrium or the older, broken Win7 feature used to handle just fine. The freeware still allows one to setup differential backups to run on a schedule (basicallly Time Machine for Windows) so that’s good enough, but I’ll happily pay for a license if the freeware decides to deprecate itself or Windows updates does this for me yet again. Just yesterday I noticed that the Windows 11 native backup and restore decided to stop imaging (using the Win7 feature from Control Panel) after the 22H2 and subsequent patches as it couldn’t figure out that 11.4 free terabytes was enough space for a clean, 932GB image, so I installed Macrium Reflect Free and it of course worked just fine.
