1. A difference in power options between when an image is restored and when an image is created.
2. Delta restores enabled by default
3. Creating a system backup doesn't select every system partition. The UEFI partition is not selected.
4. Since this new compression algorithm only works with medium compression, perhaps make medium the default rather than high.
5. The ability to fix/rewrite the MBR, like Macrium Reflect. The rebuilt MBR doesn't seem to ever do anything on my system.

The default power option is already set to automatically restart when the operation is done while doing a system restore, haven't you noticed it?

Delta restore is already enabled by default in the ZSTD version.

You don't seem to have reported this issue to us.

The ZSTD version is just a version for performance testing. ZSTD provides several compression levels, and we are still considering whether to replace all compression levels of HBS with the ZSTD compression algorithm. The idea is to use the lowest compression level of ZSTD for the low compression levels of HBS, and then use the higher compression levels of ZSTD for the medium and high compression levels of HBS.

I couldn't find that feature in Macrium Reflect. Note that MBR in the traditional sense only exists on MBR disks, so this feature can only be used on MBR disks, it has no meaning for GPT disks.
