ThatвЂ™s the whole point : you image everything, so as to be sure to be able to restore everything as it was at date x. Image-type backup is precisely meant to backup everything indiscriminately. However, it strikes me that what youвЂ™re asking for is a barking cat, or tea tasting as coffee. You can exclude whatever directories/folders/files you want in the file-and-folder backup mode, but not in the disk imaging mode or the disk cloning mode. Macrium has three backup modes : disk cloning, disk imaging and file-and-folder backup. IвЂ™m not aware of possible changes in the server/enterprise editions. Rapid Delta Restore is supposed to greatly shorten restore (I canвЂ™t tell you about actual performance). There are other, useful options than have been added to the backup plans, for scheduling and retention.

If you chose to have, for instance, one full and ten incrementals, when the eleventh incremental is saved, the oldest incremental is merged into the full (resulting in a synthetic full), and you still have your last ten incrementals you could go back to if you wanted to restore an older version. This means you never need to do a full backup again. In the past, the help I have received (and the threads I have read) were of good quality, with Macrium technicians popping in regularly.ДЇeature-wise, version 6 brings a nice-to-have mode : incrementals forever. To the extent that you might encounter problems, this might be important.

Accessing version 6 forum requires having bought version 6 (the free edition does not qualify). It has been closed (maybe you can still read the archives, but you canвЂ™t ask questions). The most pressing need I could see is that you donвЂ™t have access to the version 5 forum anymore.
