Software Update: Macrium Reflect 7.2.4063

Paramount Software has released an update to Macrium Reflect. This program can create a disk image of a partition or hard disk. In addition to the free version, there are also paid performances those different extras such as being able to do a file backup or an incremental backup, encryption, and restoring a backup to different hardware than it was created on.

From version 7.1 the free version is no longer just for private use, but can now also be used in commercial environments. There is also Image Guardian, which protects backup files from unauthorized modifications, improvements have been made to virtual images, and several bugs have been fixed. The following improvements have also been made in this release:

Macrium Changed Block Tracker (MRCBT)
CBT could fail to attach to volumes where the “System Volume Information” folder was compressed with NTFS compression. This has been resolved

Macrium Virtual Image Boot (viBoot)
The viBoot backup functionality has been put back – viBoot can now take backups of its VMs again.

Backup Toast Notifications
Duplicate toast notification when restoring have been removed.
When running backups, the toast notifications will now always show the backup definition file name.

PowerShell
PowerShell scripts running as scheduled tasks could hang after completion of a backup. This has been resolved. Note: Existing scripts do not need to change

Server Plus – Mailbox Restore

• Mailbox Restore will no longer incorrectly report failures when restoring to multiple mailboxes at once.
• If one message failed to restore then subsequent restores could cause a program exception. This has been resolved.
• In rare cases, Mailbox Restore on Exchange 2016 would fail to restore messages with certain extended properties. This has been resolved.
• On certain domain configurations, Mailbox Restore on Exchange 2016 would not always be able to restore to all mailboxes. This has been resolved.
• PST file export for Exchange 2016 is now supported.

Server Plus – Exchange Backup
Exchange backups can now handle backups of Databases and System volumes with different sector sizes.
Exchange encrypted Incremental backups could incorrectly force a Full backup. This has been resolved.

Backup Logs
Where consolidation/Retention rules are run *before* the start of a backup, the total time taken now includes the time taken for retention and consolidation.
File And Folder email settings now include warnings and are positioned in the same log section as Image logs.
