    Macrium Reflect Password/Encrypt: Yes/No?


    In the 1 in a million (at least) chance that I get nailed for ransomware (with Norton and paid Malwarebytes running), I thought I was protected having images stored on an external drive. But I guess you could increase those odds and say the attack came when the drive was connected and then all the images could be corrupted.

    To prevent this I could opt to use the Reflect encrypt option. Time is never a problem running the backup and although it would take a lot longer to restore I could live with it if it was a matter of having/not having the data.

    How do you all handle this?

    I think before I get too worked up about encrypting the backup I ought get up off my a** and finally change the passwords on the DSL modem and bridged router from their factor presets!

    Restoring Windows 10 Image using Macrium Reflect


    In addition to the above. Here's my suggestion in step by step.
    I assume you have Macrium Installed in your current HD and already made a backup copy.
    • Connect your new HD via USB port and boot up.
    • Run Macrium, click on Restore tab then select the Backup Image that you made to restore
    • click on "select a different target disk" then select your new HD as destination

    • Proceed to restore then Shutdown and disconnect the old HD and replace with the new HD
    • Boot up with your new HD.

    Reflect image password protection and encryption...


    I encrypt my phone and all my PCs. I also encrypt my backups.

    Why? In case I lose them. Perhaps I leave them in a taxi or someone breaks into my house. Encryption means they can't get to see my address, email, bank details and the cunningly named document called "Passwords.docx" I have on my desktop.

    Identity theft is a real issue and encryption should be the first step everyone takes unless they have absolutely nothing of value on their device.

    For macrium I use a bitlocker encrypted volume (rather than encrypt the image itself) and have never tested the performance overhead. According to Microsoft it should be a "single digit percentage" but idk. Perhaps next time I'll get self encrypting drives but even if it took 2x as long I'd still encrypt.
