From the Duplicate section in the link provided earlier:
Enable File Copy
Copy image and file and folder backup files just created to an alternative backup directory. This can be a useful way to ensure that your files are contained in two locations and therefore the risk of backup corruption is greatly reduced.
This indicates it is a file copy, not another archive creation, to a different location. It should run faster but if you have a powerful CPU which can handle the internal processing such as compression quickly when making an archive it may not be a huge difference. Also if you are copying to a USB2 external drive the transfer rate may be a limiting factor.
Get out your stopwatch, create an archive, then use Windows Explorer to do a copy and see what you get; assuming the Reflect copy compares to Windows Explorer's.
