The story

The pain

We rely on Macrium Reflect to create exact clones of our drives, but we've discovered that the software does not verify cloned data with any checksum, hash, or destination reread. After years of trusting the process, we now realize that a successful clone job gives no proof of data integrity. This is a deal-breaker for anyone serious about data preservation.

For a long time, I had assumed that cloning Source Drive A to Clone Drive B would incorporate a checksum calculation during the "verification" phase that it performs. But apparently, this is not the case.

What good is software for cloning data if it isn't validating and *proven* validated when it completes?
