Software Update: Macrium Reflect 7.3.5321

Paramount Software has released a new version of 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. New in version 7.3 Among other things, Macrium Reflect now uses its own task scheduler and no longer that of Windows itself. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Bug Fixes and Improvements

• Macrium Task Scheduler
  • If a scheduled backup was missed without the option ‘Run the task as soon as possible after a scheduled task is missed’ enabled, then the Run Now button would stop working until the PC was restarted. This has been resolved.
  • Scheduled backups running on startup were starting too quickly, without giving network connections time to initialise. This has been resolved.
  • The Macrium Task Scheduler now keeps extra copies of its internal configuration files to prevent failure on corruption.
  • When trying to import a scheduled task with a definition file path that doesn’t exist, Reflect will now prompt to Browse for a different definition file.
• The Windows Version of the WinRE kernel could be incorrectly displayed. This has been resolved.
• ReflectMonitor.exe could fail to launch at logon and prevent notification of running backups. This has been resolved.
• A Consolidation ‘Warning’ error could override a ‘Failure’ error for a backup and incorrectly display a Warning icon instead of Error. This has been resolved.
• We’ve added ‘copy’ functionality for the license key displayed in the About dialog
