I have not idea what the Macriun capabilities are regarding NAS. I would have to copy the backup to another drive before doing a drive recovery. I know for a fact that the Acronis stand-alone recovery systems cannot access a NAS drive. Formerly known as Acronis True Image, it can back up and restore your entire PC, or clone individual drives and partitions, or back up any set of files. The Acronis doc says only file/folder backups can be taken to a NAS, but I'm taking "Entire PC" drive backups of the laptop to my NAS drive. Free Storage: None : Storage (Base Plan).

Tthe free version of Macrium Reflect does not take file/folder backups, and the cost of a 3 (actually 4) device license for Macrium Home costs quit a bit more than a 3 platform license for Acronis. Macrium mounts the backup image faster than Acronis, but I don't think it gives an option of the drive letter to use in mounting. I've done it successfully from the Acronis backup and have walked through the process with the Macrium. I've had to recover old data a number of times. I found configuring the backup process less straightforward with Macrium than with Acronis, but I recently discovered that Acronis has an exclusion list and was excluding files from its "Entire PC" backups. I don't remember how easy the Macrium process was. I had a couple false starts with Acronis because understand the process. There are limitations to this form of backup such as not being able to select specific partitions and the default destination cannot be changed. I've done 1 recovery using Macrium and 2 using Acronis.

I need to run full disk image backups on all 3 devices.I have to run the backups on 3 devices - 2 desktops and 1 laptop.(Other products can be suggested, of course.) I would like more information to help me decide.
A number of people have recommended the free version Macrium Reflect, but I need the paid version to meat my requirements. Lately I've run into a few peculiarities that have me looking at alternatives. I am a long time user of Acronis True Image. Please forgive me for not reading the whole "Window 10 Recovery Tools" thread before posting this, but that's a very long thread.
