Software Update: Macrium Reflect 7.2.5098

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 may 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 changes and improvements have also been made in this release:

Bug fixes and Improvements:

• Restore/Clone
  • We’ve added a new confirmation prompt when extending a partition beyond 2TB on an MBR disk. Extending beyond 2TB will cause the disk layout to be converted to GPT format and will cause MBR system disks to be non-bootable.
    In the rescue media, we’ve also added a warning to indicate that disks converted to GPT will not be accessible by Windows XP and Server 2003.
  • When copying an MBR ‘Active’ partition to an existing non ‘Active’ partition the target partition may not get marked ‘Active’ after restoring. This has been resolved.
• If initiating a system restore in Windows causes the boot menu to be automatically added then, for 32 bit systems, local NIC and mass storage drivers may not be copied. This has been resolved.
• Changed Block Tracker
  • Fixed a permission issue that prevented the Encrypted File System (EFS) from encrypting some files on volumes that were formatted while CBT was active.
  • Improved compatibility with Windows 10 build 2004.
• Various minor fixes and changes to improve Macrium Reflect.
