Macrium Reflect Server Edition

Backing up your data is an essential part of using a computer: an unexpected outcome could wipe out all of your important files and folders, so it's best to exercise caution and employ a failsafe.

Fortunately, backup solutions are plentiful, so it's not like users are starved of options. Macrium Reflect Server Edition is one such solution, providing reliable methods to secure your data: local backups, image files, burning to a CD/DVD, and so on.

A first look at this program reveals that it's been made with ease-of-use in mind. It won't take long for you to get accustomed to it: backing up a partition or a certain folder is as easy as creating a backup task, with only a few inputs required from you. Pick the source folder(s), the backup's destination, and the process will start.

If you wish to select an external source as the destination, that's also possible. A USB stick, as well as a CD/DVD, are supported options.

What sets the Server edition apart from the other available solutions of the developer lies in its mass-backup capabilities. More simply, you could back up entire operating systems through this software — provided you have the storage, that is (which shouldn't be a problem for server owners).

Besides being able to back up local disks and even create .iso images of them, the software provides even more ways to empower users. The XML Backup Definition List capability allows for greater control over editing and executing the process, permitting users to generate VBScript and MS-DOS batch files.

To take it one step further, backing up your data through scripts is also possible. A Scheduled Backups option is available as well — and it is especially useful for server owners, where constant backups are a must.

Macrium Reflect Server Edition is worth a try: it can back up your files, folders, and partitions in multiple ways, and it's easy enough to use that just about anyone can make use of its functions.
