PC Backup Software Options Acronis or Macrium Reflect Home

[bikeman25]

Hello

 

Currently own both those products,    1 Subscription and 1 Non subscription,  wondering which is best to use for my system backup needs?     1 PC doesn't have a convienant power strip to get to, and so i backup that one over network to Main system with 8TB external connected---Though ends up taking hours with Acronis

 

Macrium Reflect takes less than an hour or just over an hour

 

Advice?

I'm using Macrium Reflect for full backup monthly with differentials once a week to external HDD, never had any issues
