Daniels storage is just the one device, as far as I can remember.
Version 6.3.1865 or so, I think that had the fix for the Microsoft change
to the handling of $BITMAP. Backups likely work today, with any V7 or V8
version. Should not be a problem.
https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/macrium_reflect_free_edition.html # Version 8.0.7783
The bitness of the download, should match the bitness of the OS.
If you are on Win10 32 bit, you would download the 32-bit version.
If you are on Win11 (which is 64 bit only), use the 64 bit version.
These samples were downloaded at the end of the year 2024.

This shows installing the product (a bit of the procedure), followed
by making rescue media.

You can make an ISO, or have Macrium burn a CD.
The output is about 300MB or so, and it will fit on a CD.
Only the inclusion of a large number of custom drivers, would tend to break it for
usage on a CD. The default drivers are quite frequently good enough.
Do a test boot of the Rescue media, to verify it boots,
after you prepare some form of it. You can put the Macrium ISO onto a
USB stick with Rufus, because it resembles a Windows installer enough
to use the same wrapper scheme.
Every version will have some differences in options offered, so the
Postimg is just a hint as to what some of the steps look like.
The WinRE option is only going to work, if your "reagentc is in top-shape".
And nobody wants to be messing with that. If the WinRE was in better
shape, using the WinRE option could save on disk space a bit, but
the first time I tried it, Macrium located and used the wrong WinRE
for the job. That has undoubtedly been fixed by now (on 8.0.7783 for sure).
