Software Update: Macrium Reflect 8.0.6979

Paramount Software has released a new version of Macrium Reflect. With this program a disk image of a partition or hard disk can be created. In addition to the free version, there are also paid performances those different extras such as being able to perform a file backup or an incremental backup, encryption, and restore the backup to hardware other than the one on which it was created. In version 8.0.6979, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Macrium Image Guardian

RMBuilder

• When downloading Windows PE 5.0, the Rescue Media Builder would sometimes fail to download the last 15MB. This has been resolved.
