    This is a bootable Linux tool. Macrium does more stuff such as daily "diff" images of a running Windows install to a network drive. Totally different tools.

    This is a bootable environment/tool, not an application. Similar functions, but different use-case.

    Veeam just has issues installing. Spent a whole day and the install had multiple issues with the latest Ubuntu kernel. It's just not as easy as Macrium.
