Nope - I just say it as it is rather than wearing rose coloured glasses.

Not sure that time to run Backups is particularly important -- much more important IMHO is to be able to RECOVER data or System quickly after failure / accidental / or otherwise "incidents".

This Topic/Pool is Necro (subject discussed/voted - is to old to be worth considering) at this point (made in February 2022 and tomorrow is February 2025 = 3 years latter). Someone might bump into it - and might actually think Macrium is the greatest back-up tool around - just because in 2022 was the most convenient (free) back-up tool. :eyeroll: Then they call support - cause of a back-up issue (even here - witnessed more than enough complaints/testimonials in this regard) - and they're simply directed to their paid subscription model Macrium Reflect Home | The complete backup solution for personal use. (even if you paid for it back then - you won't get any support without a new subscription).

Does Veeam, Haslo or some other tool do reminders after x days, even "remind me later"? I need something like this for a non-24/7 system where active backup jobs can be disruptive if forced by schedule.
