[QUOTE="harlan4096, post: 1107751, member: 36043"] I think Macrium RSW protection works only with physical drives plugged in the system: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1731261509361.png"]286214[/ATTACH] It's fairles to think that Macrium can't protect a file located in a network shared device in a different system. For the same reason that you can compress an already compressed file, which in turn contains another compressed file 🤷♂️ That AES256 encrypted password only protects of that system image can be mounted / accessed for somebody that does not now the password :) The Bot gave good reply this time ;) My 2 image system backups are of course offline.
