Paramount Software has released an update to version 5.1 of Macrium Reflect. This program can create a disk image of a partition or hard disk. Macrium Reflect is free for private use, but there are also paid performances That extras including the ability to perform a file backup or an incremental backup, encryption, and restoring a backup to hardware other than that on which the backup was made. The standard version costs 45 euros, the pro version 60 euros and the server edition goes home for 193 euros. Since build 5496, the following changes and improvements have been made:
What’s new?
- Backup ‘Pause’ button
A new ‘Pause’ button has been added to the backup dialog. This will suspend the backup and all disk activity. - Verify single file
The ‘Verify’ option in Macrium Reflect now has a check box to verify only the incremental or differential image selected. This increases the verification speed if the previous files in the backup set have already been verified. - Improved Incremental and Differential image logic
The logic for determining which file system clusters to include for Incremental and differential images has been optimized.
Bug fixes:
- Boot menu driver loading
- On some systems the boot menu could fail to load drivers for Windows PE. If this has been a problem then step through the rescue media wizard to the final page and press ‘Cancel’. This should resolve the problem
- Error when removing Macrium boot menu on GPT systems
- Some customers experienced an error when removing the Macrium boot menu on Windows 8 GPT systems. This has been resolved.
