New Update Macrium Reflect Home

As the number of updates increases, the jealousy of the paid version increases.

I waited a long time before finally buying (hated the cost) but didn't know then it's a lifetime license, now I have had it for some years works great, never needed technical support

The price range seems expensive when compared to the prices of competing rival software, but perhaps not so much when weighed against the features.

Great program, I recommend you verify your backup, right click existing backup and option is there, I caused problem with backups before by continuing to do stuff on my computer while it was backing up, schedule during down time

There is now a new checkbox that says 'background' in the image section - Not tried it though

Probably works, but I have no need to use, rather let it run off hours with a scheduled backup

Macrium Reflect v8.1.7378 (Home paid version)

Bug fixes and Improvements v8.1.7378 - 13th February 2023 Disk Images Some customers have reported a slower backup speed to mechanical HDD. This has been improved. Incorrect transfer rates were reported for split file backups where automatic file verification was enabled. This has been resolved. Images could fail with 'unknown error' if the CPU priority slider was at the lowest or second to lowest setting. This has been resolved. When restoring partition(s) to an MBR disk with logical partition(s) at the front of the disk, the extended partition could be incorrectly extended to beyond the start of the next primary partition. This has been resolved. Server Plus ESENT.dll could cause a program exception when Reflect starts. This has been resolved.

Free version does not receive every single update; current free version is at 8.0.7279. Only paid gets every update. The behavior changed for free 8 version after Macrium announced sunsetting of home version. The pre-sunset free home version used to get every single feature update but on delayed update schedule sometimes. Now it only gets security updates. No more features updates.

was running .7175 so just did a manual check from my secure outpost somewhere in North America, and it downloaded .7387 and is installing. Thanks, I had forgotten to "watch" this thread.

Macrium Reflect Home version 8.1.7469 ready via internal updater...

Bug fixes and Improvements v8.1.7469 - 18th April 2023 Disk Images We've improved the speed of mounting images in Windows File Explorer on some systems. When imaging a FAT32 partition with a very large FAT table, If the backup target ran out of space while saving the FAT table Reflect could crash. This has been resolved. Reflect now uses the improved Write method to calibrate the target disk write speed. While it may take slightly longer to perform the test than previously, the results are more realistic and closely match the image write performance. Drives encrypted with BitLocker would show as unformatted if the Windows BitLocker WMI component was not registered correctly. This has been resolved. Reflect could crash when an image restore was initiated from Explorer Context Menu, or via command line option. This has been resolved. SQL Backups SQL backups could sometimes not honor retention settings for password protected network shares and for unnamed SQL Server instances. This has been resolved. viBoot In extremely rare circumstances the MRVMDK driver could generate a buffer overflow. This has been resolved. viBoot may incorrectly display “No bootable drive detected error” when launched from Reflect. This has been resolved. CBT After resizing a volume, CBT will not re-enable on the volume until after a system restart. This has been resolved. MRCBT failed to attach to some partitions created with legacy MS-DOS tools. This has been resolved. General We've added a new theme that compliments the currently selected Windows theme. Take the ‘Other Tasks’ > ‘Change Theme…' menu option and select 'Windows Color Theme’ We've improved device driver compatibility with Microsoft DirectStorage. On some Windows 7 systems, due to third party DLL injection, Reflect could become unresponsive. This has been resolved. Email parameters {BACKUPFILENAME} and {BACKUPFILEPATH} would contain incorrect data for skipped backups as no file is generated. This has been resolved by replacing the parameters with empty text. The password ‘Reveal’ button has been removed from the default settings for the SMTP Server password field in the custom email configuration. This was highlighted as a potential security concern for our MSP customers that configured Macrium Reflect for their own customers. Various Various other minor fixes and changes to improve Macrium Reflect.
