What's New 6.0.684:
- Reflect v6 Free Edition
Macrium Reflect v6 Free has now been released. Please see here for more information on the v6 Free feature set: http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx
- 'swapfile.sys'
Data from the the Windows 8.0/8.1 temporary file 'swapfile.sys' is now excluded from images.
- Windows 10
An in-place upgrade of the Windows OS to Windows 10 will retain the Macrium Reflect license after upgrading.
- Technicians USB stick improvement
The Macrium Reflect Technicians USB stick will now ignore bad sector 'CRC' errors by default. A summary of bad sector will be displayed in the Image log.
- Technicians USB grace period
A 14 days 'grace' period has been added to the expiration of the Technicians USB stick.
- Backup set error detection
For scheduled images, when creating an Incremental or Differential Image, If corruption is detected in the backup set index then a Full image is automatically created.
Bug Fixes:
- Free space threshold check-box not copied from defaults
The default selection for free space threshold was not copied to backup definition files when creating a new definition. This has been resolved.
- Extended partition table sequence
Restored images of MBR disks where the extended partition table is out of sequence could cause corruption of the restored partition table. This is a very edge case where the partition table was originally initialized outside of Windows. This has been resolved.
- XML list view hidden
The list of backup definitions could be hidden if the lower widow is dragged to the top of the container. This has been resolved and restarting reflect restores the original position.
- Maximum file size setting
If the Maximum File size setting was changed mid backup set then the value from the Full image was always used. This has been resolved.
- Crash during consolidation
A program error could occur if an incomplete backup set was detected in the backup target folder. This has been resolved.

Bug Fixes: v6.0.638
- "Failed to create empty document" message at start-up
A fresh install of v6 over an existing v5 install could cause an error message box to be displayed when starting Reflect until next reboot. This has been resolved.
- Unnecessary backup file 'Splits' when free space is low
When starting a backup the maximum backup file size was set to the remaining free space on the backup drive. This is unnecessary if a 'Free Space Threshold' is set in the retention rules and could cause an unnecessary 'split' of the backup file. This has been resolved.
- Windows PE build failure
Windows PE rescue media could fail to build if the location of the PE files was on a disconnected drive or if there was insufficient free space. This has been resolved.
- Default retention rules ordered incorrectly
In the 'Edit Defaults' 'Retention Rules' property page, the selection for 'Backups', 'Days' and 'Weeks' was not in the correct sequence. This has been resolved.
- 'Differential' option not available when selecting the 'Other Actions' menu in the 'Restore' tab
The Differential backup option was missing if the backup was created with 'the 'Synthetic Full' option checked. This has been resolved.

Bug Fixes:
- Mouse scroll wheel issue
The mouse scroll wheel would not scroll the backup definition window. This has been resolved.
- Retention issue when running a Diff or Inc from the 'Restore' tab
Reflect could incorrectly apply retention rules when a Diff or Inc backup was run directly from the restore tab. This has been resolved.
- Free disk space problem with DFS shares
Reflect could incorrectly report the wrong free disk space if a Distributed File System (DFS) share was used as the backup target. This has been resolved.
- Backup time incorrect if the backup took more than 24 hours
The time to complete a backup would be incorrectly reported if the time was over 24 hours. This has been resolved.

Exchange Backup was not stripping the Active Directory server common name identifier from the VSS path specifier. This has been resolved.

- Browse image problem in PE 5.0 x64
A driver signing problem prevented images and file and folder backups from being mounted and browsed in PE 5.0 x64. This has been resolved.
