I have used both Macrium Reflect and DIXML and in my experience DIXML takes *way* longer to backup. For the above scenario of 39 gigs, it would take several hours, at least on my system, while MR uses about same as poster, ie 20 minutes. It’s even faster than Acronis, which uses about 1 hour for same size data.

Since this does have a scary licensing issue (What happens if the server is down? Or the company disappears?), what’s the advantage over Drive Image XML?

Rarst yes I noticed that as well.

Refused to work without internet connection to licence server. Exactly last thing i want to worry about in drive image software is how do i connect it to net.
