I've read several articles explaining the difference between imaging and cloning. That depends on your intent-why you bothered to do either of those things.

If I wanted to accomplish this, without having to manually move files and folders over to drive J, do I simply "re-clone" drive C to drive J every month? If I do this, is Reflect smart enough to simply copy and change only the data that is new, without going through the entire clone process and overwriting everything from scratch? What I want to know however, is how do I set Macrium Reflect so that it keeps the backup drive updated and at 1:1 with my main drive(ie similar to Raid 1 mirror), on a monthly basis. Imaging appears to be where all the system files are archived and can be restored in case the main drive goes bad, correct?

I've read several articles explaining the difference between imaging and cloning. The backup drive, we'll call it "J", is now a 1:1 copy of my C drive. OK so I'm running Windows 10, and I purchased the full retail version of Macrium Reflect, and have now cloned my main C: drive to another SSD drive, using the "Clone this Drive" option. Hey how's it going guys good to be here :)
