I had occasion today to complete my testing of the performance, via my three weekly full partition system images using Macrium Reflect 8 [MR8], 2026 Easeus Todo Backup Home [ETBH], and Hasleo Backup Suite Pro [HBSP], Beta Version 5.6.1.0.. alternating weekly between them.

Total Imaging Time: 33 minutes
Supplementary to that testing, I noticed when imaging with HBSP, Version 5.5.2.2., on my laptop today to an external USB2 drive that the imaging time was 17 minutes, but the Complete Check Image time was 34 minutes, for a total of 51 minutes. The Complete Check Image time was double that of the image creation. The beta version tested on my desktop computer had a far faster Complete Check Image time in comparison to the latest officially-released version of the program.
Have a great day.
